Netherlands and Europe have set themselves the goal of becoming fully circular by 2050. This is a huge challenge that will require the entire society.

ITGWO is therefore committed to working out the necessary steps to make this a reality in practice. The festival has also set itself the goal of becoming fully circular (stage 1) in the coming years. This means that no residual waste will be produced that ends up in waste incineration.

All materials used by the festival will then be reusable, or at least be recycled or composted at a high quality. In this way, materials can be kept in high-quality cycles, allowing raw materials and products to be created anew. By closing these loops and using renewable energy, the circular society is slowly becoming a reality.
