Our GDCF members know that they have to approach their festivals as a small city or community, where people work, eat, sleep, rave (and repeat). Much like in the real world, there are all kinds of different flows such as energy, food, packaging, resources, people, machines, and water. With the international Green Deal Circular Festivals, we are aiming to creating a future-proof and resilient festival industry, by finding and sharing solutions to close all cycles in the areas of energy, food & drinks, materials, travel & transport, and water & sanitation.

By continuously chasing new solutions, our member organisations are challenging and rethinking the system of event production and logistics. In our GDCF Toolbox we offer practical and proven solutions that have been implemented by our member organisations, that can be used as a blueprint for a circular festival.
