SUSTAINABILITY
We want to keep our festival as clean and sustainable as possible. There's a circulair system on all our eco-cups and bottles we give out at the bars, turn them in so they can be recycled into eco-cups / bottles again. This way we can keep our plastic waste to a minimum!
How does it work?
- You receive a free 'green' token at the entrance. This coin has no value but guarantees you a free eco-cup/bottle at the bar.
- Hand in your 'green' token at the bar and receive your eco-cup/bottle. You pay your drink with the regular tokens.
- Did you finish your drink? Exchange your eco-cup/bottle at the bar for a new drink or a 'green' token.
- Lost your eco-cup/bottle? Then you pay 0.5 regular token extra on top of the drink price.
- All the collected plastic will be recycled after the festival and converted back into eco-cups/bottles next year. So don't forget to turn in your last cup!
Eco-cups/bottles that have been lying on the floor can not be recycled unfortunately.
Fun fact: the 'green' token that you receive at the entrance is made from 100% recycled fishing nets, this way we keep our festival clean and sustainable, but we also help fight the maritime pollution! By using this token we are able to reduce the amount of waste and Co2 emissions in seas and oceans and we make sure valuable raw materials won't get lost.
- We'll be able to keep track of the full recycling process of our cups after this festival, this way we know exactly when the old cups are being turned into new cups. We can even store all the recycled cups so they are ready to be used at our next edition next year!
