The Municipal Indoor Sports Hall of Peristeri “Andreas Papandreou” (Giannitson 81A, Peristeri, Athens) is a multi-purpose indoor arena owned by the Municipality of Peristeri. It is part of the wider Peristeri sports complex and serves as a key venue for local and regional sports activities. It is mainly used for basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, and training sessions, and is also the home venue of the local basketball club Peristeri B.C. The hall is a classic Greek municipal indoor arena with a parquet floor, spectator stands, and facilities for competitive and community-level sports events, with a seating capacity of around 4,000 people.
For arenas of this size (Greek municipal indoor halls built in the same era), the total enclosed floor area is usually 7000 square meters.
"The Municipal Indoor Sports Hall of Peristeri “Andreas Papandreou” has implemented basic sustainability practices focused on recycling and reducing single-use plastics, mainly during matches and sports events. Recycling bins and basic awareness signage have been placed in spectator areas, while operational efforts have been made to reduce disposable plastic use within the facility.
The measures were implemented through simple organizational changes by the facility management, without requiring major infrastructure investments. According to operational estimates, recycling rates during events reach approximately 20–25% of total waste, while annual plastic waste reduction is estimated at around 12–14%.
Monitoring is currently based mainly on operational observations rather than a fully digitized system, making the practice a simple and easily replicable sustainability initiative for urban sports facilities with high visitor traffic. "

Recycling and waste reduction practices during sports events, including reduction of single-use plastics and awareness measures for spectators and users.
The facility is interested in improving sustainability practices related to waste management, recycling efficiency, and reduction of single-use plastics during sports events and daily operations over the coming years. There is also interest in exploring affordable monitoring and reporting solutions that could help collect more accurate environmental data, improve spectator awareness, and support more sustainable event management practices in high-traffic urban sports facilities.
