Abstract
The purpose of this article was to present the idea of applying the concepts of bioeconomy, circular economy, and green economy to events due to the fact that these concepts are relevant in terms of the environment. There is the potential to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and serve the economic strategies of the government. This project provided the solution in handling with the insufficiency of the resources, garbage problem, and climate change which are directly caused by events industries. Applying the Concept of Bio Economy, Circular Economy, and Green Economy to Events has been implemented since the beginning of the activity design process, such as obtaining energy from biomass, using biological products from the locals, sorting and managing waste, purifying wastewater, reducing energy use, using renewable energy, and organizing carbon compensation activities. The objective of the study was to promote the idea of using resources sufficiently under 3R principles: reduce, reuse, and recycle while maintaining social welfare and reducing environmental threats in order to create wealth with sustainability. Nevertheless, the adaptation of the organizer is the beginning step of creating sustainability in events. The collaboration of every organization involved in the project is required to achieve the goal.
