Sustainability
For our catering, we work with reusable cups for our beers. For other drinks that are served in PET bottles, we have put an extra check in our waste disposal circuit, so that they end up in the right waste bin and can be recycled.
We are also committed to sustainability in terms of sanitary facilities. In the sanitary block of the public plaza you will find recycled toilet paper.
The banners that cannot be reused at another event are recycled so that they can be reused in the production of new banners.
We promote the use of alternative and sustainable means of transportation to our visitors . We make suggestions about the different possibilities of public transport, carpool options, the use of parking lots on the outskirts of the city. More info on these transport options can be found in the page – practical info.
Travel between the different locations in Leuven by the organization is done on foot or by bicycle. With sustainability in mind, local suppliers and artists have been chosen whenever possible to minimize CO2 emissions.
As an organizer, we are committed to efficient transportation of athletes and their delegation, before, during and after the event. The number of trips is limited as much as possible with the scheduling of shuttles at fixed times.
