Speakers: Camille Guitteau (Bye Bye Plastic), Eefje Arts (Dekmantel), Esther Koshari (Paradise City)
Moderator: Greg Cochrane
What challenges do organisers face in offering tap water at nightclubs and festivals? During this panel talk, we explore how leading festivals and clubs have successfully tackled concerns about safety, revenue, and partnerships.
About this program
Providing tap water at clubs and festivals can significantly reduce plastic waste and cut down an event’s overall environmental footprint. In this panel, experts Esther Koshari (Paradise City Festival), Eefje Aarts (Dekmantel Festival), and Camille Guitteau (Bye Bye Plastic Foundation) will share their insights on:
– How can festivals & nightclubs implement 'Bring Your Own Reusable Bottle' policies?
– Is tap water a viable business model for festivals & nightclubs?
– How can audiences be engaged in sustainability campaigns?
Who is this program for?
This session is tailored for venue owners, event and festival organisers & sustainability managers, by providing actionable solutions to help you implement tap water options while making a positive impact.

A collaboration between ADE Green and Dopper
