Closed session: Recycle Cue - presented by StatiegeldNL
The collection of cans with a deposit at festivals is a fact in the Netherlands. But how do you make it work for your visitors, crew, and suppliers? Learn from real-event pilots conducted during the 2025 festival season, explore practical systems, and help shape a workable, scalable standard for the entire Dutch sector. This interactive session is perfect for festival professionals in F&B, sustainability, or production, from day events to multi-day camping festivals. Be part of the conversation, share your experiences, and co-design a truly circular future for the festival industry.
Please note: this is a industry session hosted in Dutch by ADE Green and Statiegeld NL for festivals & event professionals from the Netherlands, by invitation only.
