Waste is a valuable resource. Through Resource Recovery, we are able to reclaim resources that would typically be identified as ʻwasteʻ and give them a new life.
Since 2012, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii has been working with diverse clients to make environmentally conscious choices when planning events, diverting waste all while educating and inspiring guests in the process. Hosting a zero waste or sustainable event can be simple and rewarding. We are available for hire to help you minimize your events impact on the environment through pre-event consulting and during event implementation of our waste diversion systems and trained resource management/education staff.
All proceeds go directly back into our program to perpetuate our mission.

Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i offers world-class education alongside our waste diversion services.
We provide a team of trained waste experts to manage the receptacles placed throughout your event and educate your guests along the way. To ensure your event has as minimal impact as possible, our team monitors the receptacles and alleviates any issues that arise.
Data is collected by the SustainEvents crew, allowing us to calculate the impact and provide a report on the items collected at the event.
The receptacles, made by Albizia Project and Design Lab Hawai'i, were built using scrap wood and have 4 different compartments – food scraps, compostable containers, recycling, and trash. By using scrap wood, we are excited to share a full-circle story of how waste can be turned into a resource.

Food scraps and compostable containers are taken to our new Compost Machine in Waimānalo where the products break down and turn into healthy soil.
HI-5 recyclables are picked up by Bottles4College, a nonprofit that uses the recycling redemption to help fund local Hawai'i students' college tuitions.
The remaining products, mainly single-use plastics, are taken to the nearest transfer station. From there, the waste is either taken to a local landfill or to H-POWER, the incinerator on island.
