Cuts plastic waste and CO₂ footprint
ESG reporting for festivals and events
Abandoned plastic tents quietly undermine the sustainability efforts of festivals, sponsors and event organisers. Here is how a biodegradable tent changes the picture.
The hidden ESG gap at festivals and events
Every festival season, tens of thousands of tents are abandoned across European festival fields. Made from plastic, nylon and fibreglass, they are almost impossible to recycle and persist in landfill for centuries. They quietly undermine the sustainability efforts of festivals, sponsors and event organisers.
23,500+
tonnes of festival waste annually (UK alone)
250,000+
tents abandoned every year
400
years to decompose
- The vast majority cannot be recycled
- Significant microplastic pollution
- Rising disposal costs and regulatory pressure
