Durable Tents

英国最大的音乐节发起人节日共和国对人们在节日结束后回家时留下的帐篷和其他废物的数量感到担忧。这既是一个巨大的财政成本，也是一个重大的环境影响。该项目的目的是找到一种解决方案，改变人们的行为，使节日观众不再把帐篷当作一次性物品。这一变化将减少清理成本，同时将产生新的收入来源。基本上，Festival Republic希望创建一个循环的商业模式，确保帐篷在节日结束时不会被遗弃。解决该项目的团队包括：问题所有者、Festival Republic、帐篷零售商Blacks、服务设计和循环经济咨询公司We All Design以及可持续艺术和创意产业咨询公司Julie's Bicycle。

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.
