Latitude Festival: A great place to practice recycling
Nifty Bins go to Latitude Festival every year and say it is a great place for recycling
Latitude Festival has been described as a great platform to see if people will enjoy environmental change.
Nifty Bins were at Latitude festival over the weekend and believe single stream recycling is the only way.
They want to see events become completely zero waste throughout, and say that every year Latitude goers love recycling.
Latitude Festival took place at Henham Park Thursday 22 July – Sunday 25 July, and was the first festival in the UK to run at full capacity since the pandemic.
Nifty Bins have been providing their services at Henham Park since 2017, and Nifty Bins FBI (Festival Bin Investigators) are always impressed with the people who attend.
The festival saw thousands of people travelling for miles to enjoy music and arts right here in Suffolk.
Festivals have a bad reputation for littering, but volunteers for Nifty Bins FBI work every day at the festival to ensure the waste is recycled properly.
Stephen Corcoran, inventor of Nifty Bins, says that Latitude is an amazing place for recycling, and they are always overwhelmed with the recycling at Latitude.
“We are working towards a recycling reform by 2025. Nifty Bins is going to be working closely with the government to roll out a national system.
“We will be nationalising this system, so it’s one system for all of England. We are going for a zero waste system, for a really simple zero waste signage system for the UK.
Corcoran is extremely passionate about recycling and the environment, and says that it is a movement that people are starting to understand.
“We have been pushed back because of covid, but we are going to come back stronger. We have proved it works in event after event, the festival really is a great platform to try out new ideas.”
