In the bad old days, music and sporting events were among the most notorious for sending tons of single-use waste straight to the UK’s landfill sites. There was little or no thought given to sustainability, and this attitude was repeated in a wide variety of locations, from Glastonbury to Wembley and all points in between. At a single event, the items being thrown away after one use could easily number in the hundreds of thousands.
One look at Glastonbury’s own website, and remember this is a festival with a strong emphasis on sustainability, reveals some interesting statistics. In 2019, they recycled 17 tonnes of plastic bottles, for example. Sports and music events that haven’t taken this matter as seriously will of course have caused a great deal of environmental damage over the years. Now, however, the 2023 ban on single-use plastics has forced the industry into making some extremely dramatic changes.
