点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Festival Republic, the UK’s largest music festival promoter, has a major concern about the amount of tents and other waste left behind when people go home after its festivals. It is both a large financial cost and a major environmental impact. The aim of this project is to find a solution that will change peoples’ behaviour so that festival goers stop treating tents like disposable items. This change will reduce the clean-up costs at the same time that it will generate a new revenue stream. Essentially Festival Republic want to create a circular business model, which ensures tents aren’t abandoned at the end of the festival.The team tackling the project are: The problem owner, Festival Republic, tent retailer Blacks, service design and circular economy consultancy We All Design and sustainable arts and creative industry consultants Julie’s Bicycle.
