Setting up sorting bins โป๏ธ
During our festivals, and in order to promote recycling and reduce our environmental impact, we install sorting bins.
Why sort your waste?
Sorting allows you to:
- Reduce waste sent to landfill or incinerated
- Preserve natural resources by reusing recyclable materials
- Reduce pollution linked to the production of new materials
- Save energy, as recycling often requires fewer resources than manufacturing from raw materials

Reusable tableware for a more eco-friendly festival ๐ฟ
Our festival is committed to the environment thanks to the reusable tableware set up by our partner BOPAQ that you can use on site!
By opting for reusable plates, cups and cutlery, we considerably reduce the production of waste and limit the ecological impact of the event.
The advantages of this approach:
- Less waste: no more wasting disposable plates and cups!
- Less pollution: reduction of single-use plastics that often end up in nature.
- A concrete gesture for the planet: by encouraging reuse, we contribute to a more sustainable way of consumption.
