QSNCC Earns Global Recognition for "Waste Not, Delight More" Initiative, Paving the Way to Become a Zero Food Waste Convention Center

"Waste Not, Delight More" is an innovative food-waste management program launched in 2023 under the principles of the circular economy, aiming for Zero Food Waste. The initiative achieves this goal by implementing pre-ordering technology, designing menus that focus on using local ingredients efficiently, and partnering with various organizations to transform food waste into valuable resources.

This program not only enhances the attendee experience—delighting participants with delicious, high-quality, and eco-friendly meals—but also instills a shared sense of pride in protecting the planet. Every dish served brings joy without leaving behind waste, making a meaningful contribution to environmental preservation.

QSNCC's recognition on the world stage began with the AIPC Innovation Award, an internationally respected accolade celebrating creative and effective management, marketing, and service strategies in international convention centers. The highly-coveted Delegate's Choice award is voted for by convention centers worldwide-all members of the Association, honoring those with the most impressive and inspiring initiatives.

In addition, QSNCC is among the top four finalists for the UFI Operations & Services Award 2025—an honor from the global exhibition industry association that spotlights exceptional food and beverage management at events. The award seeks programs that are "Sustainable, Engaging, and Adaptive," and QSNCC's initiative has resonated with the judges for its innovative approach.

Surapol Utintu, CEO of QSNCC, said "These global sustainability awards not only elevate QSNCC's reputation worldwide but also affirm our dedication and creativity in achieving zero food waste—while delivering sustainable, delightful F&B experiences. These recognitions inspire us to continue advancing toward our ultimate goal of Net Zero."

As a leading champion of sustainability in Thailand's MICE industry, QSNCC continues to set high standards and inspire others—an ethos reflected in the impressive lineup of sustainability focused events scheduled at its venue in 2025. These include the Mae Fah Luang Foundation Sustainability Forum 2025 on 22 September 2025, the Sustainability Expo from 26 September to 5 October 2025, the Thailand Smart City Expo from 5 to 7 November 2025, and the International Conference on Biodiversity (IBD2025) from 5 to 7 November 2025. These events affirm confidence in QSNCC's capabilities, standards, and unwavering commitment to sustainability.
