OUR IMPACT

Did you know?

  • We have set a company-wide 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.

TRANSPORT

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. For further train info, please click here
  • Car sharing is a great way to reduce your car journey’s carbon footprint.
    • If you are driving and your car is not full, please add passengers via ‘Liftshare’ or “Go Car Share”.
  • Train not plane! If you are traveling from abroad, please try to use trains where you can.

POWER & FUEL

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

  • Aiming to use a higher proportion of HVO biofuel than last year – It emits up to 90% less emissions than diesel
  • Reducing fuel consumption on-site
  • Using battery storage solutions
  • 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 each Creamfields to come.

WASTE

Did you know?

  • Our goal is to recycle 50% of Creamfields waste
  • 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 and help us achieve CLEANFIELDS:

RECYCLABLE waste:

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

NOT RECYCLABLE waste:

  • 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 and achieve CLEANFIELDS:

  • Pick up clear and green bin bag from the campsite entrance and recycling points.
  • Fill the clear bin bag with NOT RECYCLABLE waste (see above)
  • Fill the green bin bag with RECYCLABLE waste (see above)
  • Drop off full bin liners of the correct waste at the Recycling Points to win rewards.

WATER

Did you know? To help eliminate single-use plastic, water sold at the Festival is in cans to lower plastic waste.

Here’s how you can help reduce plastic:

  • Bring your reusable bottle or purchase one onsite
  • Use the water taps to refill your bottles. These are located next to all arena toilets + campsite hubs
