Cruïlla Festival and Damm announce the second edition of Sustainable Festival Challenge
The Cruïlla Festival, Damm, Barcelona Music Lab, Fundación Ship2B and the Cataluña Watse Agency promote this initiative to find startups that contribute solutions to improve waste management at large-scale events.
From promoting public transport or working with local suppliers and nearby products, to becoming a 0-waste festival, or reducing merchandising stock, among several other measures, Cruïlla continues to work to achieve a more sustainable festival model. This year, with cooperation from Damm, Barcelona Music Lab, Fundación Ship2B and Cataluña Waste Agency, the second edition of the Sustainable Festival Challenge: an innovation project in search of startups that work environmental problems and can help to promote the festival and have it achieved new objectives in the area of sustainability. In this edition, special attention will be given to proposals focused on waste management, from its reduction or valuing to a circularity approach, and the transition towards a more sustainable and regenerative system. This is a topic of special meaning for Damm, which bets on circular economy along its entire value chain.
Registration is open from Tuesday June 6 until Sunday September 3 at midnight. A selection committee will choose the 10 finalists, which will participate at the Barcelona Startup Week during the week of October 2 and will showcase its pilot tests during the Cruïlla Festival 2024. Every detail can be checked here.
With the Sustainable Festival Challenge, Cruïlla reinforces its commitment to finding the most revolutionary answers and achieving the end objective of their project: transforming the festival into a highly sustainable model with the participation of those companies that can provide answers to the challenges resulting from large-scale events and, thus, determining the impact that festivals have on environmental festivals, reducing it to their most minimal expression.
