Zero Waste Policy

Introduction

Spilt Milk Films DAC is committed to reducing waste, minimising our environmental impact, and promoting sustainability in our operations. This Zero Waste Policy outlines our commitment to achieving zero waste and provides a framework for our waste reduction efforts.

Policy Statement

The Cuckoo Drama DAC is committed to achieving zero waste on this production. We define zero waste as sending nothing to landfill or the environment. Instead, we will strive to reduce waste at the source, reuse and recycle materials, and promote the use of sustainable products and practices throughout our operations.

Goals & Objectives

Our Zero Waste Policy aims to:

1. Reduce waste at the source: We will prioritise waste reduction efforts by identifying areas of waste generation in our operations and finding ways to eliminate or reduce waste at the source.
2. Promote reuse: We will seek to reuse materials where possible in all areas, but particularly in the Construction, Costume, Production, Props and Set Decoration Departments. We will only serve food in compostable packaging and provide water in bulk containers. Crew should bring their own reusable coffee cups and water bottles.
3. Implement a comprehensive recycling program: We will develop Asset Disposal Plans to identify the most appropriate disposal channels for assets, excess and residual construction materials, textiles and props. Bins will be provided for paper, plastic, glass, batteries and metal materials to enable these to be sent for recycling.
4. Prioritise sustainable products and practices: We will seek to promote the use of sustainable products and practices throughout our operations, such as by choosing products with minimal packaging, using compostable food packaging and using environmentally friendly cleaning products.
5. Educate employees and stakeholders: We will educate our crew and suppliers on our Zero Waste Policy, the importance of waste reduction, and how they can support our efforts.

Implementation

To achieve our zero waste goals, we will:

1. Establish a waste reduction team: We will establish a waste reduction team to oversee the implementation of our Zero Waste Policy and ensure that our goals and objectives are being met.
2. Conduct waste audits: We will conduct waste audits to identify areas of waste generation and prioritise waste reduction efforts.
3. Implement a composting program: We will implement a composting program to divert organic waste from landfills in accordance with the Food Waste Regulations (2009).
4. Provide resources for waste reduction: We will provide resources for waste reduction, educational materials for crew, bins for recycling and composting, together with support for the creation of Asset Disposal Plans.
5. Partner with waste management companies: We will partner with licenced waste management companies to ensure that all waste and residual materials are properly disposed of using the most sustainable methods.
6. Monitor and report progress: We will monitor our progress towards achieving zero waste and report our results to stakeholders at the end of production.

Conclusion

Spilt Milk Films DAC is committed to achieving zero waste. We recognise that this is an ambitious goal, but we believe that by working together, we can create a more sustainable future for our planet. We are committed to continuously improving our waste reduction efforts and promoting sustainable practices in our operations.

Sustainable Catering Policy

Introduction

Spilt Milk Films DAC are committed to conducting our operations in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. As part of our dedication to sustainability, we recognise the significant impact that catering services can have on the environment and the community. Therefore, we have developed this Sustainable Catering Policy to guide our engagement with catering contractors and to ensure alignment with our sustainability goals.

Policy Objectives

The main objectives of this Sustainable Catering Policy are:

1. Reducing Environmental Impact: Minimising the environmental footprint of catering services by promoting practices that minimise greenhouse gas emissions, conserve resources, reduce waste, and support eco-friendly initiatives.
2. Supporting Local Communities: Prioritising local sourcing of food and beverages to reduce transport related emissions and to support local producers.
3. Promoting Health and Well-being: Offering nutritious, balanced, and sustainable food options that cater to diverse dietary preferences and promote the well-being of our crew.
4. Encouraging Responsible Waste Management: Implementing waste reduction, recycling, and composting practices to minimise the environmental impact of catering services.

Sustainable Menu Selection

1. Seasonal and Locally Sourced Ingredients: Our catering contractor must prioritise the use of seasonal and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. This practice supports regional farmers and reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
2. Plant-Based Options: The catering menu should offer a variety of delicious plant-based options. Plant-based foods have a lower environmental impact and cater to crew with diverse dietary choices.
3. Sustainable Seafood: If seafood is included in the menu, it should ideally be sourced from sustainable fisheries certified by recognised organisations such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).

Waste Management

1. Composting and Recycling: Catering providers should work with the Locations Department to ensure that sufficient composting and recycling bins are available to crew. Food waste, paper products, and other recyclables should be separated and disposed of appropriately.
2. Minimising Single-Use Plastics: The use of single-use plastics, such as straws, cutlery, and cups, should be eliminated. Reusable or compostable alternatives should be used instead.
3. Compliance with Waste Bye Laws: All waste, including waste water and waste fats/oils, must be collected by licenced waste service providers and documentation must be retained in line with waste bye laws.

Emissions Management

The catering contractor must adopt energy-efficient practices such as;

1. Mains electricity: Mains electricity should be used to power catering equipment and fridges where possible. Liaise with the Locations Department to explore options for mains power.
2. Battery & Hybrid Battery: Where mains power is not available, battery-generators or hybrid-battery generators should be used in preference to internal combustion engined generators.
3. HVO Biofuel: Where internal combustion engined generators and hybrid-generators are used they should be specified to match the demand and they must be fuelled with HVO biofuel.
4. Transportation and Logistics: Minimise transportation-related emissions whenever possible by choosing the most fuel efficient vehicle for a particular journey. Use HVO fuel for catering vehicles where possible.
5. Powering Fridges: Fridges and other equipment must use mains power or battery power at night and at weekends. Generators should not be run just to power fridges

Conclusion

By adopting this Sustainable Catering Policy, we aim to make a positive impact on the environment, support local communities, and provide our crew with an exceptional catering experience that aligns with our values and commitment to sustainability.

Sustainable Accommodation Policy

Spilt Milk Films DAC is committed to reducing waste, minimising our environmental impact, and promoting sustainability in our operations. We believe that by choosing sustainable accommodation we can reduce our carbon footprint, save on operational costs, and provide our staff with safe and comfortable accommodation options. To achieve our sustainability goals, we have developed a sustainable accommodation policy that outlines our expectations for the accommodation we select.

We prioritise accommodation providers based on 5 key areas:

1. Energy efficiency: Where energy-efficiency measures such as LED lights and the use of energy-efficient appliances have been implemented to reduce energy consumption.
2. Renewable electricity: Where accommodation providers have installed solar panels, wind turbines, or procure 100% renewable electricity from energy providers.
3. Renewable heating: Where accommodation providers utilise renewable heating systems such as heat pumps and biomass CHP plants.
4. Waste reduction: Where accommodation providers have implemented zero waste policies, have recycling programs, use biodegradable and compostable products, and reduce the use of disposable items such as paper and plastic products.
5. Water conservation: Where accommodation providers have implemented water-saving measures such as low-flow showerheads and taps and encourage guests to reuse towels and linens.
