How Hollywood hopes to monster waste

All the goods here have been discarded from the film and TV industry, and are being offered free of charge to other filming productions, non-profits, schools, or others who can make use of them.

Ecocert, the company that runs the Materials Oasis, also provides set services to help productions reach the zero waste standard of 90% of waste diverted from landfill or combustion.

Following production, working with EcoSet can be a cost-effective alternative to paying disposal fees - as well as allowing a production company to tout its environmental actions.

Louise Smith, a sustainability consultant with Neptune Environmental Solutions, explains why so many production teams have embraced waste reduction: "Waste and plastics is something that every single crew member can see physically, every single day. And so it's something that's ever-present in people's minds." Even more production items could be reused with tweaks to protect intellectual property.

Waste is one of many aspects a filming production needs to log in order to qualify for sustainable production certification from the environmental organization Albert.

In the absence of governmental regulation to ensure greener practices, the film and TV industry has created a number of agencies to encourage more sustainable production, on an optional basis.

Previsualization allows for shots to be tested virtually in advance, while 3D capture of set components may mean that extra props don't need to be trucked around Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, some crews embraced digital call sheets, scripts, and other documents in place of the abundant paper that can litter film shoots.
