Energy

Since 2005, we have equipped the various stages with LED lighting to reduce energy consumption and emissions.

Our electricity provider uses an energy mix primarily from renewable sources.

We aim to make the most of natural sunlight during the different work and setup phases leading up to the Festival.

All performances take place outdoors, without the need for air conditioning systems.

Mobility

This is a very important point for us!

Since 2019, we have been promoting car sharing to reduce transport-related emissions and encourage social interaction — first with a board for posting notes, and now also via a Telegram chat.

Coming by bike?
To reward your green spirit, your camping spot is free and you will also receive a cold beer upon arrival.

We want to reduce the impact of our artist shuttle service, so we will use hybrid cars to help cut emissions.

We also avoid using cars or scooters by equipping our staff with pedal-assisted bicycles, thanks to our partnership with Bike Park Rimini!

Waste

Each year, we enhance the street recycling stations specially set up for the Festival in collaboration with the local utilities company. In 2024, we built 40 new wooden recycling bins, increasing capacity by 16,000 liters — the equivalent of 3,000 kg of waste — with an eye to the future: these bins are designed to be reused for many years, reducing construction waste and costs.

Since 2022, we have provided campers with waste sorting kits to encourage proper recycling.

If you have any doubts about how to sort your waste, feel free to ask our Eco volunteers.

We have always promoted a plant-based menu at the Staff canteen.

Festival bars do not sell bottled water — we have saved around 90,000 plastic bottles from going to waste! If you bring a refillable bottle or your own cup, you can refill it at any Festival bar.

This year, the Festival cup will also be used by all shops and bars in Pennabilli: reducing waste and making our village greener, one cup at a time!
