Creamfields Introduces Cleanfields Initiative for Sustainable Festival Experience
Preserving the Environment at Next Week’s Festival
Creamfields has announced its new environmentally-focused initiative, Cleanfields, in collaboration with sustainability impact agency betternotstop. A three-year plan has been developed to preserve the 600-acre festival site in Daresbury. As part of this initiative, there will be a designated Cleanfields campsite, and a pledge has been introduced to encourage attendees to adopt more environmentally friendly habits. Incentives are also available for proactive participants, with crew members on hand to engage with festivalgoers.
Dispelling Festival Myths
Creamfields aims to dispel “festival myths” with its actions, particularly highlighting the issue of tent waste. The festival emphasizes that tents are not recyclable and urges attendees to take responsibility for their camp cleanliness. The Cleanfields pledge includes guidelines such as keeping the camp clean, minimizing personal belongings, opting for public transport, and utilizing recycling points throughout the campsites.
Cleanfields Pledge Guidelines:
- Join Cleanfields: Keep your camp clean and take your tent home
- Only bring what you need: minimize belongings and use onsite stores for essentials
- Consider your travel: Opt for public transport whenever possible
- Recycling points: Recycle materials at designated locations
Encouraging Environmental Consciousness
The festival describes the Cleanfields initiative as a call to action for the dance music community to come together, enjoy the music, and make a positive impact on the planet. The entire Creamfields team is committed to preserving the festival site and empowering attendees to do the same. This collaborative effort aims to create an amazing event while promoting sustainability.
Engaging Attendees in Recycling Efforts
Besides addressing tent waste, Creamfields is focusing on enhancing recycling efforts and engaging attendees in sustainable practices. The festival has implemented recycling points across the site and offers rewards for participants who return full recyclable or non-recyclable waste bags. These incentives include side-stage experiences, merchandise, and tickets to next year’s festival. Additionally, returning 50 cups to the cup exchange point in the arena earns attendees free drink tokens, and water refill points are available onsite.
