Trinidad 's carnival is estimated to produce 3.4 tonnes of waste every year .

A single costume bra can generate approximately 37.68kg (83lb) of CO2 emissions.

Carnicycle has started a recycling programme, collecting unused costumes that would have been dumped or burned by masquerade bands, which use new costume designs each year .

Organisers of Fete with the Saints in 2023 wanted to make the event more sustainable.

Organisers say they have prevented over one million single-use plastics from entering the landfill.

The party spirit has not been dampened by the event's green efforts, says Joseph Hadad .
