Slaprea 2019, which currently stands to date as the largest food festival in Cambodia, hosted 89 vendors (143 booths), covered a space of half a kilometer at the National Olympic Stadium and received 30,000+ attendees (a 54% increase from Slaprea 2018). The event was carried out with the participation of 20 The Idea Consultancy full time team members and 85 volunteers from the Volunteer Nation.

Waste management as well as hygiene & sanitation SOPs were developed and implemented throughout the event to manage the generated waste and to promote food safety. Vendors received free training and were offered alternative food packaging to limit the use of single-use-plastics at the event. Total amount of waste collected during the 2 day event is approximately 1.9 tonnes.
