WASTE MANAGEMENT
Since 2020, we have been actively committed to an eco-responsible approach. One of our first steps was to take stock of our situation in this area by producing an “Environmental Report” available on our website. Below is a summary of our results and our eco-responsible commitments.
Faced with the urgency of climate change, and with the impetus given by the city of Geneva to move in this direction, we launched the “CAP VERS LE ZERO DÉCHET” project.
The 2024 edition of Tchoukball Geneva Inodores marks a turning point. An ecological and sustainable change of direction. Here’s an overview of our main actions.

COLOR-CODED SORTING CENTER INSTALLATION
In 2024, we set up several sorting centers in the heart of the Queue-d’Arve sports center to raise awareness and involve the public in our eco-responsible initiative. Designed to be visible, accessible, and educational, these spaces allowed everyone—participants and visitors alike—to actively contribute to reducing the event’s environmental impact.
Thanks to clear color coding and fun materials, waste sorting became a simple and natural gesture.
Plastic, paper, metal, glass, or organic waste: each type of waste had its place, allowing for effective initial sorting directly by the public.
Our goal remains the same: to make sorting simpler, more efficient, and more engaging, so that together we can build an event that is increasingly environmentally friendly.[:]
BACKSTAGE VERIFICATION
During the December 2025 edition, a space entirely reserved and closed to the public will be set up in order to check all the trash bags collected during the event backstage.
We will carefully check the contents of the bags containing the various recyclable materials, as well as those intended for incinerable waste. This work, although time-consuming and meticulous, will be essential to achieving our main objective: to ensure complete, rigorous, and reliable sorting of all waste produced.
The public will make the first step in sorting thanks to the sorting centers set up on site. Our team will then take over by thoroughly checking the trash cans to validate and reinforce the public’s efforts in this eco-responsible approach.
INFORMATION AND AWARENESS-RAISING
INTEGRATION OF WASTE SORTING INTO OPENING CEREMONIES
To raise awareness and understanding of our various sorting centers, we will be offering an activity during the opening ceremony. And this will continue throughout the 11 days of competition!
The game will work as follows: players come to the center of the field. Each participant must throw a product into the corresponding trash can.
This game will help us present the sorting center in a fun and informative way. It will be a full-scale presentation, in front of all participants. It will be presented to the players, but also to teachers and/or chaperones.
