As the world celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day this month, we at EcoSet are celebrating an anniversary of our own.
This April marks EcoSet’s first full year of working with television commercial productions to create greener sets.
Through a strong partnership with the Broadcast division of Target Corporation, our Eco Crew has been diverting waste and offering environmentally responsible solutions to multiple Target productions in Los Angeles and New York. The results have been incredible.
With the enthusiasm and participation of production companies, vendors and crew, we have diverted 35 Tons (70,000 lbs) of waste from ending up in a landfill, prevented over 17,240 individual plastic water bottles from being used, and donated clothing and discarded set materials to 45 local non-profits, theaters, artists and schools. On average, productions that work with EcoSet divert 85% of the waste they generate — a strong start down the path to zero waste.
Every shoot we work on has allowed us to meet passionate people who want to help change the way we produce film, television and commercials. EcoSet is proud to be a part of this innovative and creative industry and to work side by side with all the people who are involved with it.
Here’s to another great season of creating ever more eco-friendly productions!
