Todd Energy Zero Waste

Para Kore

The Zero Waste philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. Event Partner Todd Energy and WOMAD NZ are both committed to ensuring this award-winning festival is not only an explosion of international culture, but also a leading example of environmental sustainability. We strive to make WOMAD an environment that encourages and empowers people to embrace

Parakore

the philosophy of reducing, reusing, recycling, and rethinking. Zero Waste is all about planning for the future and caring for the environment now, so that our future generations can also enjoy our beautiful world. Each year we continue to beat the last. In 2017 we stopped 84 per cent of festival waste from ending up in the landfill and in 2018 this was increased to 90% of festival waste diverted from landfill. We won’t stop there though! Our ultimate goal is to become a festival that has zero waste going to landfill.
