Every house starts with a solid cornerstone. Similarly, Into The Great Wide Open needs these building blocks to bring the festival to life. In The Cornerstones, we follow the people whose work is indispensable for the festival. Today: the resource manager.

Lars runs together with Irene the raw materials street at Into The Great Wide Open. Here all the waste from visitors, caterers, and crew comes together. But according to Lars, waste actually does not exist, only raw material. From Lab Vlieland, he sets innovative waste management in motion, so that everything gets a new life.
