• We have set a target to reduce our scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.
• This aligns with science-based targets to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, trying to reduce the impact of climate change.
• To see our Green Nation charter and find further information on our green goals, please click here.

Here’s what we are doing to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from power and fuel this year

• Aiming to use 50%  HVO biofuel – It emits up to 90% less emissions than diesel.
• Reducing fuel consumption on-site.
• Gathering data to understand and reduce our power and fuel usage in future.

This will help us to be more efficient this year, and to work out how to be better for all future Creamfields festivals.

Did you know?

• Our goal is to recycle a minimum of 20 to 40% of the Creamfields waste this year.
• There will be a two-bin system in all campsite and arena areas, with a three-bin system in food service areas.

Here is what you can put in each bin:

COMPOSTABLE waste (into bins with BROWN signs!):  

• Food packaging, except for pizza boxes, and
• Food leftovers.

RECYCLABLE waste (into bins with GREEN signs!):  

• Empty plastic bottles,
• Empty cans,
• Dry, clean, paper and cardboard.

NOT RECYCLABLE waste (into bins with WHITE signs!) :  

• Any flexible plastics, such as crisp packets
• All hygiene products, including wet wipes and tissues
• Anything else you’re not sure about.
• And, if there is no COMPOSTABLE waste bin
• All food packaging/containers such as pizza boxes and disposable cutlery. 

Here’s what you can do to help us meet our recycling goal:  

• Pick up clear and green bin bags from the campsite Recycling Points
• Fill the clear bin bag with NON RECYCLABLE waste
• Fill the green bin bag with RECYCLABLE waste
• Drop off full bin liners of the correct waste at the Hubs to win rewards.
• More information on rewards can be found under “Feed our recyclers”
• Don’t need incentives? Please drop your bins in the signposted waste points at the campsite.

In the arena, you can receive a drink voucher if you collect 50 paper cups and return them to the Cup Exchange in the main arena.

Did you know?

• Audience travel emissions account for almost 80% of a festival’s total emissions.

Therefore, shifting how we travel can help us massively reduce our CO2 consumption, reducing our impact on the planet and making Creamfields a greener place to be. 

There are many ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint, here are some suggestions:

Travel By Coach, the greenest way to travel!

• The Big Green Coach can collect you from most UK cities and drop you off near the festival entrance. For every customer, 5 square feet of the Amazonian rainforest will be protected for 10 years. To make a booking, please click here
• Train is close behind as a very efficient mode of transport.  
• We provide shuttle buses from nearby stations to the site. Click here to pre-book your Shuttle Bus ticket.

Car sharing is a great way to reduce your car journey’s carbon footprint.  

Train not plane!  

If you are travelling from abroad, please try to use trains where you can.
