Snapshot of
Research
_edited_edited.png)
Through primary and secondary research, we calculated the average waste outputs of a festival of 10,000 patrons scale.
Quantifying this waste helped us triage priorities within the detail of the circular festival model. Here is a snapshot of what we found:
570,000
sheets of toilet paper used per day
40,000
if individual water bottles distributed per day (30,000 litres water)
5,000kg
sewage waste created per day
360,000
litres of water would be used for flushing toilets, per day
2,700
litres of water used to make 1 cotton
t-shirt for a merch stall
1,080+ tonnes
average Co2 emissions from
artist + crew transport
575 tonnes
average Co2 emissions for patrons to travel to and from festival site
1,300+ tonnes
average Co2 emissions from
supplier transport
30,000,000
predicted litres of water used in production
of food at the festival (1 meal approximately 3,000)
400,000
predicted carbon footprint of food
(production only, excluding transport, cooking etc.) at a festival
We would like to acknowledge the festivals who are committed to circularity by 2025 under the Greener festivals deal. These festivals have been pivotal in our research and are precedents for large scale festivals adopting eco-concious practices.
