Abstract
Waste management is an integral part of a green event and crucial to its environ- mental credentials (McCullough et al., 2016; Verdonk et al., 2017). Conventional waste management studies focus on municipal waste collection (Schneider et al., 2017); waste separation behaviour (Stoeva & Alrikkson, 2017); intervention strategies (Shearer et al., 2016) and governance-related challenges (Kromidha et al., 2019). But as green events become more prevalent, research on the waste management of events is gaining momentum (Wall-Tweedie & Nguyen, 2018; Han et al., 2015; Barber et al., 2014; Mair & Laing, 2013). Waste management is the most visible green measure in sports events. It is also relatively low cost, compared to the incorporation of eco-designs in the construction or retro-fitting of sport facilities (Hedayati et al., 2014). Moreover, it is easier to promote recycling than to engage with transportation stakeholders to address the carbon footprint of non- domestic travel in sports tourism (Wicker, 2017).
