Tiivistelmä
Conventions of Asian popular culture have been active and growing over a decade and as the recycling has increased and become more trending the conventions should follow the trend. One of these conventions is called Desucon in Lahti and since it gathers huge number of people in one place for a weekend the amount of waste needs to be regulated. This is done under the Waste Act and legislation of Päijät-Häme.
The purpose of this study was to provide statistical information and possible guidelines for waste management of Desucon. Data were collected via the own feedback form of the convention with combined questions regarding the thesis, where visitors could give their ideas for improvement. Data were also collected from the head organizer and person in charge of volunteer work.
The results shows that Desucon has a functional waste management system, but there still was a chance to improve the waste management and reduction of waste, and the findings indicate the reduction of waste to be a possible but a slow process and is focused more on the individual.
