Various festivals, music venues, and other music organizations have submitted their old promotional material during the past few weeks to reuse in the production process of Solidus Solutions.
Festivals, music venues, and other organizations within the music industry produce a lot of printed materials and therefore a lot of waste material. In order to make the public and other festivals aware of the large number of posters, flyers and show programs that often stay behind after a festival and the impact that has, Grasnapolsky festival and Solidus Solutions have initiated the project ‘The Future of old festival paper’.
The project ‘The Future of old festival paper’ originated after the Grasnapolsky team visited one of the Solidus Solutions factories and saw how everyday household paper and cardboard is being processed into new packaging or utensils. With the project, Solidus Solutions and Grasnapolsky want to send a strong signal to make festivals aware of their ecological footprint and how recycling can contribute to this in a sustainable way.
Festival Grasnapolsky takes place on 6, 7 and 8 March in the former strawboard factory De Toekomst in Scheemda (the Netherlands). Grasnapolsky tells the story of a unique location in the Netherlands and tries to cooperate as much as possible with local parties. Solidus Solutions is the leading European producer of solid board and solid board packaging and originated from one of the first strawboard factories in Oude Pekela. The group processes recycled paper into solid board and packaging for various market segments, including food, consumer and industrial sectors.
