The findings of the report will be presented in two categories:
• Sustainable practices undertaken
• Areas for improvement of sustainable practices
2.1 Sustainable practices undertaken
2.1.1 Venue
The pop-up café was conducted in a makeshift booth in Hyde Park as shown in Figure 1. The infrastructure of the café was limited to the small booth. The décor including props and the famous couch were existing resources.
Hyde Park was a strategic location as it is easily accessible by public transport. Bus stops and train stations are within walking distance to the site. The venue also promoted the use of bicycles and deterred attendees from driving. Bicycle racks are available within Hyde Park. The venue has a lack of parking spots and since it …show more content…

3 CONCLUSION
Based on the findings of the Central Perk Pop-up Café, the following conclusions were drawn:
• The overall performance of the Central Perk pop-up event achieved a score of 60/100. The event attempted to be sustainable. However, the components that were left out were crucial sustainability practices.
As Getz (2013, p. 118) argues, the sustainability practices of events should not be focused on increasing but on improving. Thus, instead of trying to expand the areas of sustainability, Stan should aim to increase the effectiveness of existing practices.
4 RECOMMENDATIONS
After considering the findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are suggested to improve future operations:
1. Increasing the number of recycling and general waste bins available within the premises of the event.
2. Improving the quality of beverage and packaging by requesting for a fair trade supplier and products that are recyclable and biodegradable. Products should also be locally made rather than imported. This can be achieved by providing incentives to
