The Cruïlla Festival is working to continue reducing its environmental impact. After testing biodegradable cups in its 2018 edition and eliminating plastic in 2019, it now wants to collaborate with emerging companies that can help it, for example, find less polluting materials for the cups that accompany attendees at concerts or for the wristbands used for entry. The Sustainable Festival Challenge is supported by Damm, Barcelona Music Lab, and the Ship2B Foundation.
Startups that are active at the time of selection and have a clear business model will be able to apply. Applications can be submitted until April 21.
Selected projects will participate in Startup Week, an event where they will be trained and collaboration avenues with the festival will be studied. Among the participants, a jury will choose the proposals that will eventually materialize at Cruïlla 2023.
The Sustainable Festival Challenge aims to address two issues. Firstly, it seeks emerging companies specialized in the design of sustainable materials or capable of generating new materials that reduce environmental impact. These can be used for cups and wristbands, but also for banners, tarpaulins, and stands that fill the Fòrum during the festival days.
Secondly, the Cruïlla Festival also wants to measure the carbon emissions it generates and offset them, as well as propose actions for attendees to reduce them. It also plans to produce reports explaining the environmental impact of the concerts.
