Our green commitment

A gathering of this size comes with responsibility, and reducing our ecological footprint is one we take seriously. Improving it, bit by bit, every year.The goal remains the same: respect for the place that hosts us. With the festival terrain expanding this year, every corner of Vijverspark deserves even more care. From greener ways to get here to fewer cigarette butts on the ground, it’s the small choices that add up.

None of this happens on its own. It’s cared for by everyone who shows up and pays a little extra attention.

THE IDEA

Every year, we ask ourselves how we can reduce our footprint. For us, that means building further on the audit by 'A Greener Future', together with our whole crew, from eco-manager to food partners, to you.

THE CHALLENGE

‍^‍
Thousands of people in one place inevitably leaves a mark. Waste is the obvious issue, but travel and food are among the biggest emission sources at any festival. Our goal: prioritize waste sorting, keep food fully vegetarian and locally sourced, encourage greener travel, and work with partners who share this vision, on and off site.

‍

GREEN ON-SITE INITIATIVES

Better waste sorting: this year we further fine-tuned our recycling system with our eco-manager.

Food & drinks: fully vegetarian since day one, with many new dishes on the menu this year, chosen with sustainability, local sourcing, and low waste in mind.

Free water stations: now with an extra spot near the second toilet zone. Stay hydrated without plastic waste; refill your XRDS reusable bottle for free.

Cigarette pouches: free at the entrance, merch & care stand.

Respect for the terrain: we run a protection plan to spare the grass and the park as much as possible each year.

GREEN MOBILITY

Travel is one of the biggest emission sources, so here's how we make it greener.

Electric artist drives: 30+ artists get picked up electric or hybrid this year, thanks to Cupra vehicles provided through D'Ieteren Mobility Company.

Carpool with Slinger: share rides, fewer cars, lower emissions, split costs.

Shuttle buses with Keolis: direct connections from Belgian cities.

Public transport & bikes: with safe bike storage on site

GUESTS IN THEIR HOME‍

The festival grounds are expanding this year, giving you more room to dance, explore, and chill. That makes it even more important to leave Vijverspark as clean as we found it, a delicate ecosystem, home to protected plants and animals. We're just guests here.

IT TAKES ALL OF US

Our mission only goes as far as you take it. It starts at home, choosing low-emission travel where you can. It continues in the park: reduce, reuse, recycle, and remember, nothing belongs on the ground.

Thank you for staying conscious, supporting your crew, and showing the world that the electronic music community cares about our planet.
