In order to combat the littering of cable ties across the festival site, the production team bought bright red and yellow cable ties so that they were easier to see and therefore easier to litter pick.

The cable ties were also collected separately to the other waste to ensure that they were recycled.

Bars and caterers used non-plastic straws, provided soft drinks and wine in recyclable cans and operated a reusable plastic cup scheme. In addition, the bars also switched to using reusable banners on the front of their trading pitch which they could use year on year opposed to the previous fabric ones.

We worked with a host of local suppliers such as Fullers Brewery who brew their Frontier beer in Richmond, London reducing product travel time. The majority of staff were sourced locally too, reducing our carbon footprint.

Our tills operated an email or text receipt for customers to remove the need for paper prints.

Food traders introduced a discount scheme on meals if the customer brought their own reusable containers. If not, the traders served food in a compostable container or one made from one primary material such as cardboard to ensure it could be easily recycled.

A large percentage of fruit used by traders was dehydrated so that the lifespan was prolonged. Where fresh fruit was required, the traders operated a reuse system which turned the waste into another consumable product.
