What does Haltpop do for the environment?
Haltpop cares about the environment and durability. In the process of planning Haltpop takes a number of measures in order to be as durable as possible.

  • Start helping the environment yourself! Haltpop encourages visitors to travel to the festival by bike or public transport.
  • The production is as environmentally friendly as possible. Power supply units are only running when needed and water is barely used.
  • Our cateringpartners, serve delicious vegetarian and vegan food - environmentally friendly because no meat (or animal products) are used.
  • Haltpop closely monitors the (expected) number of visitors at the festival in order to adjust stock. No food and drinks go to waste because of fitting stocks.
  • All food and drinks are served in either re-usable hard plastic cups or 100% biologically degradable disposables. All waste generated at the festival is sorted out and recycled as much as possible.
  • The rPET cups are separated from the other waste and recycled into new cups.
  • The wrist bands for visitors with Day 2 or Combi tickets are made from recycled PET bottles.
  • A number of volunteers works specifically on cleaning up the festival and sorting out waste. Help them a little bit and throw your waste in the waste bins.

Cup return system
Haltpop uses a cup return system:
  • When you enter the festival you receive a wooden return token.
  • You exchange this token at the bar for a cup or can
  • Finished your drink? Then you can return your cup or can to the bar and exchange it for a new cup or can.
  • Did you throw away your cup or can? Or did you lose your return token? Then you can get a new cup or can for &eur;1,00.
  • Do you have an empty cup and do you just want to empty your hands? You can exchange your empty cup at the bar for a new return token.

With this system we keep the festival grounds clean together!
All rPet cups will be collected separate from the other waste. The cups will be made into rPET flakes in order to be recycled into new cups.

At Haltpop we do our best to contribute to a better environment. Will you help us?
