All Sydney Festival food and drink vendors are obliged to use only compostable or recyclable service ware. The Festival also reduces waste by serving beverages in reusable cups at Festival bars, providing artists with refillable water bottles and setting up water stations where patrons can refill their drink bottles at key Festival sites. The Festival has a commitment to recycling
materials wherever possible. This extends from Festival signage and infrastructure, to the harvesting of rainwater from The Domain stage canopy for use in the Royal Botanic Gardens. In the office, Sydney Festival prints on sustainably sourced paper stock with printers that meet independently assessed performance measures.
