Creamfields, one of the world’s most iconic Electronic music festivals, is setting a new standard for environmental responsibility with the launch of Cleanfields. As the festival gears up to welcome thousands of ravers to its expansive 600-acre site in the UK August 22-25, it’s also paving the way for a greener future.
The ambitious plan reflects a deep commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of Creamfields and ensuring that the festival site remains pristine. To bring this vision to life, Creamfields has partnered with sustainability impact agency betternotstop. This collaboration promises to inject expert insights and innovative solutions into every aspect of the Cleanfields initiative.
The Cleanfields Campsite: A Model for Eco-Friendly Living
One of the core pillars of Cleanfields is education. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of festival waste, particularly abandoned tents and camping gear. This year, festival-goers will have the option to stay at a dedicated Cleanfields campsite. This area fosters a sense of community and environmental stewardship, encouraging attendees to live sustainably during their stay.
Festival-goers are encouraged to take the Cleanfields pledge, which includes commitments such as:
- Keeping their camp clean and taking their tent home
- Bringing only essential items
- Considering sustainable travel options
- Using recycling points throughout the campsite
Enhanced Recycling Efforts & Transportation Options
Cleanfields is stepping up its recycling game with several new initiatives and is addressing the carbon footprint of traveling to the festival by promoting eco-friendly transportation options:
- Numerous recycling points will be scattered across the festival site
- Rewards will be offered for proper waste disposal, including side-stage experiences and exclusive merchandise
- A cup exchange program will be implemented in the event arena
- Partnering with Big Green Coach to offer sustainable coach travel
- Providing shuttle bus services from nearby train stations
- Encouraging car-sharing among attendees
Through these robust measures, Creamfields aims to cut down waste, boost recycling rates, and minimize the festival’s overall environmental impact. Cleanfields is not just a plan; it’s a pledge to the future, setting a precedent for other festivals. By leading the charge towards sustainability, Creamfields is preserving the beauty of its festival site and inspiring a global community of music lovers to think and act green.
