Karrans Of Hyde Park Sustainability Actions

Zero waste to landfill

The event says none of its waste goes to landfill. Instead, it is recycled, reused, or composted. It also composts all Christmas trees from the event, recycles used cooking oil, donates unused uniforms, and works with wood salvage projects so timber can go to community gardens. Clearer bin signs were added to help visitors sort waste correctly. These steps are meant to cut rubbish and keep materials in use for longer.

Lower-impact travel and deliveries

The event encourages visitors to use public transport, walk, or cycle to Hyde Park to cut travel emissions. It also says it tracks supplier delivery journeys and works with suppliers to improve routes and combine deliveries. That is a simple way to reduce fuel use and lower the carbon output linked to getting goods to the site.

Energy controls and biofuel

The event says it tries to reduce energy use by switching off lights, heaters, and equipment that are not needed overnight. It also says the event uses HVO biofuel, which is a renewable diesel made from waste vegetable oil. This is meant to lower the event’s reliance on fossil fuels.

Food choices and packaging

Food outlets are said to use compostable packaging and to cut single-use plastics. Traders must offer at least one plant-based or vegetarian option, which gives visitors a lower-impact food choice. The event also says traders use 100% fair trade tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Fair trade means the products are bought under standards meant to support better pay and conditions for producers.

Protecting Hyde Park ecology

The event says it carries out regular ecological surveys and plans the site to reduce harm to wildlife. It uses trackway and protective barriers to protect trees and the ground, and it works with cleaners and local residents to keep nearby streets free of extra litter. These steps are meant to limit damage to the park’s plants, animals, and soil during the event.

Accessible community events

The event runs Winter Wishes, an accessible morning for groups who may find a busy visit difficult. It uses reduced capacity, lower lighting and sound levels, low-sensory skating, audio guides, and extra accessible facilities. It also invites local schools into an annual art competition, which helps connect the event with the local community.

Hotel sustainability measures

The nearby Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park says it has installed rooftop solar heat technology, which uses the sun to help provide heat and reduce energy use. It also says its hotel has been recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC, a body that certifies tourism businesses against sustainability standards) and has a Responsible Hospitality VERIFIED badge, which checks hotel practices on environment and people. These are third-party signals that the hotel has taken formal steps on sustainability.
