Abstract
This paper explains the strategy and procedures followed by the ‘Greening Events' project to spread green practices in the event organisation at ESCi. The academic years 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 have been analysed in order to establish a relationship between the kg of waste type produced by person per day. The outcomes will serve as a basis to identify the areas to focus on and the greening principles that need to be implemented before, during and after each event, following a life cycle perspective.
