The waste generated at events has become a major issue.
Disposable plastic cups litter fields at festivals with smashed cups
But there are even bigger issues.
- Cheap tents get left at the end of events. Smashed. With no option but too go to landfill.
- Generators suck litres of diesel just to power the sound systems.
- Disposable plastic water bottles are consumed just to keep festival goers hydrated.
- Thousands of people drive with half empty cars to the same destination with no thought to share the ride.
The result is tens of thousands of dollars in waste expenses.
It is hard enough for Festival directors to make a profit. The last thing the want to think about is their waste.
