That’s good for your guests – and better for the environment.

In this blog, we take you on a tasty journey through the festival culture, full of useful information, ideas, and tips on sustainable food service. Discover sustainable solutions – especially for festivals and outdoor events.

Why Do Festivals Choose Sustainability?

Worldwide, more than 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, half of which comes from disposable packaging. These types of packaging are called Single Use Plastics (SUP). The downside of SUP packaging is that it ends up as litter in nature. It doesn’t decompose naturally but breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces.

These microplastics pose a huge risk to the environment and are nearly impossible to clean up. They spread through rivers and seas into nature and enter our food chain. Additionally, single-use plastic is made from the fossil fuel petroleum and directly contributes to global warming, deforestation, and animal deaths.

In other words, disposable plastic is a global threat to the environment, from the polar caps to the oceans and even the human body. It is high time that we shift from consuming and wasting to a circular system where biodegradable and reusable products limit environmental damage.

SUP-Proof Festival Tableware: Top Picks for a Green Festival Season

The festival season is diverse, and the same goes for the dishes, snacks, and drinks offered at festivals. In our shop, you’ll find a wide range of sustainable packaging that suits every delicacy you serve. From chips trays to ice cream cups, and from reusable cups for hot and cold drinks to compostable plates and cutlery.

How about sugarcane plates or wooden boats for hot and cold dishes like bitterballen, fries, nachos, kibbeling, dumplings, dim sum, or wok? Prefer something for smaller portions and tapas? Whether you serve olives, cheese cubes, hummus, or other finger foods, our sugarcane portion trays are perfect.
