Ultimate goal

Ultimately, all materials acquired and disposed of by the festival organization and by suppliers, including (but not necessarily limited to): 1) building & production materials, 2) catering serving materials, and 3) other materials (incl. campsite materials), are: 

• Reduced to a minimum, by rethinking the production and considering alternative design and materials, to prevent the need to acquire non-renewable and scarce materials.
• Result in zero residual waste, by keeping in circulation materials, aiming for the highest levels of circularity, preferably by refusing, reducing, and reusing materials, and else by recycling on the highest possible level. Zero waste is sent to landfills.
• The use of single-use plastics is eliminated, with any unavoidable plastic being recycled to a high standard.
• All new materials come from renewable resources, such as biobased materials or recycled materials. The use of fossil and scarce natural resources is eliminated.
• The impact of the use, recycling, reuse, and disposal of all materials (Scope 3) is Net Zero and all unavoidable emissions are compensated following the guidelines in this document.
