DON’T WASTE AN OPPORTUNITY
Leave no trace
Reducing and managing event and festival waste is one of event organisers’ top concerns and priorities. Here, event professionals discuss the latest actions being taken to address waste on site
This year, Better Not Stop partnered with Kendal Calling to deliver a new Sustainability Impact Strategy for the 35,000-capacity festival. The event – organised by From the Fields and delivered by Engine No 4 – committed to a range of sustainability measures. From the Fields wished to create an overarching strategy and develop an effective campsite and waste management action plan.
Better Not Stop worked with Kendal Calling on a Leave Nothing but Memories Campaign, recruited a campsite crew team dedicated to raising awareness of litter picking initiatives in the campsites, and collected data about audience behaviours. Together, they empowered traders, suppliers, artists, and the audience to take more responsible, sustainable decisions and commit to a “Trader Pledge”.
Kendal Calling increased waste and recycling points by 200 per cent to make it even easier to recycle and a Clean Up Power Hour was introduced within the campsites to encourage festivalgoers to tidy up and remove rubbish around the camp.
Kendal Calling wished to reduce the total tonnage of tent and campsite waste left over after the festival. Whilst From the Fields and Better Not Stop await final figures, the team already knows that 98.07 per cent of tents were taken home!
Hannah Cox, founder of Better Not Stop, said: “Over the past couple of months we worked on Kendal Calling’s sustainability campaign, Leave Nothing But Memories. Our aim was to reduce the sheer number of tents left over on Monday morning, as well as deliver on the all-encompassing positive impact strategy that we developed for the festival.”
IT’S A SIGN
Steven Collins, operations assistant at Engine No 4, which delivers Kendal Calling festival, told StandOut about another new approach that was taken for 2022. He explained: “Throughout 2022,
WASTE COLLECTION

Engine No.4 has sought to reduce the number of laminated signs that we produce. To achieve a more sustainable solution to laminated signage, Engine No.4 invested in waterproof paper made of recyclable polyester. This product is not only more durable than laminated paper, with it being waterproof and non-tearable, but it can also be collected after use and returned to our supplier for recycling.”
Engine No 4 used the waterproof paper to create cabin signs, radio channel lists, miscellaneous site signage, pass sheets, site maps, and site vehicle signage. Collins continued: “To reduce our footprint further, we opted to bulk buy the waterproof paper that we use across our shows to reduce transport. We also consolidated all waterproof paper recycling waste so that it could be returned to the supplier in one shipment, further keeping transport impacts down.
“Where possible, signs that could be reused at future events were stored to save on remaking signage in the future. Any remaining unused waterproof paper was also stored for use next year without fear of any degradation due to the properties of the material.”
SMART CHOICES
At The Classic at Silverstone, Goose Live introduced waste separation facilities in all back-of-house and front-of-house areas. Luke Wigley, project director at Goose Live, used Ricardo to collect and monitor data that will help to produce a carbon footprint report for the event.
The environmental impact of the production of the opening and closing ceremonies of Birmingham 2022 was tracked too, using isla’s TRACE product. Selina Donald, founder of The Bulb, was engaged by the ceremonies team as a sustainability consultant.
Alongside the decision to use lowcarbon HVO fuel to power the opening and closing ceremonies’ rehearsal site, intentional measures were taken to ensure that the procurement choices aligned with several sustainability goals.
According to Donald, hiring existing assets and making smart material choices relieves pressure on the environment, provides easy sustainability wins, demonstrates innovation, and supports waste management policies.
At the Longbridge rehearsal site, corrugated plastic signage was replaced with 100 per cent recyclable polypropylene fluted board and where possible, plastic fencing scrim was replaced with 100 per cent recyclable, PVC-free Environ-scrim, which was printed using water-based environmentally friendly ink. The teams also replaced virgin plastic ponchos for a biodegradable option and put in place appropriate waste management streams for responsible disposal. Also, a robust waste management system was put in place. It aligned with all potential waste streams across the site, including timber, cardboard, general, mixed recycling, batteries, fabric, and food waste. Plus, 100 per cent of Birmingham Ceremonies’ assets were donated to Birmingham Scrapstore; distributed between its network of charities and community groups across the West Midlands. For example, clothes hangers, clothes rails, and suits were donated to Suited for Success, a charity that collects and provides interview clothing and employment preparation skills.
CHOOSE MATERIALS WISELY
Donald explained that the nature of opening and closing ceremony events means that you cannot minimise what you buy, but how you dispose of it can positively impact your social values.
This approach was adopted by the organising team of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant (PJP). The PJP was determined to leave a positive legacy and influence within communities, as well as the events industry. PJP committed to minimise carbon emissions and waste throughout all operations and consulted A Greener Festival, the sustainable events specialist.
PJP – led by Rosanna Machado, CEO – looked for alternatives to plastic, engaged with performance groups and ran green workshops so that they could choose materials wisely. It also encouraged creative elements to live on in local communities afterwards. This afterlife ensured less waste but also meant that more communities could enjoy elements of the pageant.
A total of 4.5 tonnes of waste was generated during the event for all backof-house, hospitality, and muster areas in control of the PJP. This figure does not include general public pageant route waste, which was under the control of Arcadis, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Westminster Council, and The Royal Parks.
Paper, plastic, and glass recycling accounted for 74.7 per cent of the total waste weight. Composting of food waste accounted for 6.3 per cent of total waste weight and finally, Energy from Waste accounted for 20.1 per cent of total waste weight. Zero waste was sent to landfill.
POSITIVE MESSAGING
Livvy Drake, a sustainability consultant, says that if organisations are looking to inspire pro-environmental actions, then audience communication and messaging – verbal or written – should be upbeat and empowering.
For example, don’t tell your audience not to do something but present a solution or an action. Equally, frame your messages in a positive manner. Don’t berate guests for leaving litter. Instead, say thank you to customers for taking their rubbish home.
Drake says that often people will not act if they don’t think their actions will make a difference or they won’t experience any personal benefits (especially if they are not environmentally motivated). So, highlight any personal benefits to your audience and make messages relatable.
If we can communicate – using positive messaging – with our audience then organisers can begin to make a difference. Greater visibility of segregation efforts for visitors and participants can be beneficial for event sustainability messaging and positive influence. But also make sure that staff are trained and informed about the waste management plan, including litter pickers, catering staff, security, site, and production teams. Together, we can make a difference.

Get your 2022 diaries at the ready #eventprofs – Event Buyers Live (EBL) will take place from November 28-30 at Carden Park, Chester, and StandOut, organiser of the exciting industry event, wants you to be there.
Event Buyers Live uses a specialised one-on-one meeting format. Live event organisers – only 100 – can partake in multiple pre-arranged face-to-face meetings with valued industry suppliers – just 45 event suppliers – providing the perfect opportunity to discuss procurement requirements ahead of a busy event season. Furthermore, the event prides itself on a packed seminar and workshop programme that promotes knowledge sharing.
The end result is three productive days of networking, learning and business opportunities. In fact, Event Buyers Live is widely regarded as “the place to do business”.
Neil Fagg, event director of Event Buyers Live, said: “Carden Park Hotel and Spa is the perfect location for Event Buyers Live 2022 and features a host of facilities that will be exclusive to guests and will enable us to deliver something very special this year.”
Carden Park Hotel – an independent hotel – has an award-winning spa and is located within 1,000 acres of Cheshire countryside, with a mile-long drive leading through the Nicklaus golf course, just one of the two championship golf courses onsite.
Fagg concluded: “Given the extraordinary experiences of the last 24 months, Event Buyers Live 2022 will be the place to focus and plan for 2023, and in an environment that is not only relaxed but conducive to business.”
