Festipay embraces Plastic Free July with R-PET wristbands

Here at Festipay the festival season is well and truly underway. As well as delivering or world class event solutions, Festipay is embracing Plastic Free July. Neversea festival, ConstantaFor the integrated entry and cashless payment, we use R-PET wristbands for major festivals in Romania. NEVERSEA, on the beach beside the Black Sea, was the first festival, where Festipay provided integrated event management,  to utilise the R-PET wristbands made from recycled plastic. This was particularly poignant given the devastating influx of plastic waste to our oceans. Following Neversea, Festipay will be issuing the R-PET wristbands at the UNTOLD Festival. This means that 500,000 festival goers in July will have embraced Festipay’s commitment to recycling. In turn, they played their own part in helping to support the environment.

Increasing our green footprint

With new ways of recycling, and a sustained effort to help the environment, Festipay continues to invest in new uses for recycled materials.  Not only by using wristbands made of recycled plastic, but also adapting its current business practices and processes to increase its green footprint and enable the festivals it supports to achieve their environmental targets.

Join millions of people reducing their plastic waste

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution. So we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. You can take the challenge here. Together we can make a difference and be a part of the solution.

What is R-PET?

PET (or Polyethylene terephthalate) is a strong but lightweight form of polyester and is one of the most

common plastics in the world. Water bottles are made from PET. R-PET is recycled polyester which is strong and durable. It is produced by collecting, sorting and recycling PET and then refining the material into flakes which can then be turned into new products, such as fabric. These soft, visible, durable & eco-friendly wristbands used by Festipay at Romanian major festivals, are manufactured from environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled plastics.
