Festivals to stop using plastic cups in trade-in trial
Visitors to last weekend’s Woo Hah! It makes a huge difference if there are not 100,000 cups on the floor.’ Festival goers ‘It was a pain to hold on to your cup,’ said Woo Hah! ‘But of course, I’ll do it, because it’s better for the environment.’ In addition to Woo Hah!, Dutch festival organiser Mojo held three other trials this year to test its recycling system: at an Anouk concert in The Hague, Parkpop and at Stadspark Live in Groningen. Festivals have a solution for their plastic waste and we have an additional raw material,’ said Marc Mes from the Indorama recycling company, which will be receiving some of the cups. ‘In the Netherlands alone, we throw away 19 million plastic cups and food packaging every day, after a single use,’ she said.
