REWASH REVOLUTION

We’re proud that we were the first multi-day remote camping festival in Australia of our size to introduce a re-washable crockery system across the event.

This initiative stops over 140,000 single use items going to landfill and reduces our overall carbon footprint. The system uses rice husk plates and bowls that are created from waste products, and cups made in a solar powered factory. When they’ve finally had their day (many festivals down the track) they are completely compostable. The legends over at B-Alternative will be returning to help power our Rewash Revolution.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

  1. Pay deposit when you buy your food/drink

    When you purchase food or drink at the festival, you will be charged a $5 deposit for your crockery. As the festival is cashless, there’s no need to worry about pesky change or coins, simply tap your wristband and go. Or if you want to be extra green, simply BYO crockery and you won’t have to pay any deposit at all!

  2. Finish deliciousness. Scrape your plate off into the compost bin.

    After you’ve finished, simple scrape any remaining scraps into the compost bins around the market area.

  3. Drop-off crockery to one of the designated return points.

    You can drop-off your used crockery at the Rewash Revolution HQ (Central Market).

  4. Get a refund!

    When you return crockery the drop-off station, you will have your $5 deposit refunded directly onto your wristbands. Simply tap and boom! You just avoided a bunch of single-use items going straight to landfill. Good on ya! If you return someone else’s crockery you are also entitled to a $5 refund too. So help Strawberry to stay clean and green by handing your crockery in.

Remember not to bin, take home or hoard reusable crockery in your camp, so we can continue this system for many more Strawberry Fields to come!
