Waste treatment on North American tours

On their North American tours, the KOOZA and OVO teams have been recycling and composting a significant portion of the waste generated. These efforts—not only of Cirque du Soleil staff but also of the audiences in the cities visited—have resulted in a remarkable amount of waste being diverted away from landfills.

The figures speak for themselves:
