UK: Broadwick Live has joined the Association of Independent Festival’s Drastic on Plastic campaign. The promoter joins more than 60 independent festivals in a pledge to ban the use of plastic straws onsite this season as a minimum first step, and to eliminate all single-use plastic at their events by 2021.
Furthermore, as part of Broadwick Live’s commitment to green policies, all festivals and venues within its portfolio will be introducing a number of initiatives from this summer, including but not limited to:
- Encouragement for customers to bring/buy refillable water bottles
- Festivals will put on extra stand-pipes with access to free drinking water
- No single serve sachets for condiments
- No plastic straws
- No polystyrene
- Eco cups where possible
- Incentives for customers to keep campsites clean
