It would be a better idea if they just told everyone to leave all the plastic there as they leave so it all can be melted or disposed of correctly

its better to not create the waste in the first place. first principle of waste management

I think someone is on a windup. Nobody can be that belligerently ignorant.

Yeah, starting to wonder that meself.

[Rick182]

What's wrong with telling everyone to leave all the plastic there and then after it's over people can collect  it and stick it in a big lorry and it can be destroyed in a way what won't damage the planet

They sell bottled drinks.... anyone one who's been to a festival knows that

This time, they're selling canned drinks.

That’s not how it works, sadly.  I do a lot of work with one of the big ocean conservation charities and closing the loop (ie stopping it being produced in the first place) really is the only chance we have.

Because most plastic bottles are made from 'virgin' plastic and can't easily be recycled into more bottles.

Cans on the other hand can be easily made into new cans again and again, no disposal needed.

I cant remember previous years because I don't drink wine but other festivals sell the little bottles of wine (plastic).. hows that going to work? cant give glass bottles out for obvious reasons? 

Do they do wine in capri sun bottles? haha or a can of wine?  In fact do any of the bars actually sell wine?? ha

I think the wine bars dispense the wine on tap. Not sure about the regular bars though.

Be interesting to know. I would have imagined some bars would sell the one glass (cup) plastic bottles... means they need a new vessel or all start serving on tap? 

On a side note... there is one plastic bottle i think a lot of men (possibly some women?) wont be able to do with out...... the big 3L comfort bottles...

I believe you will be permitted to bring the latter with you as it is unlikely to be single use

£3 quid cans of pop.... way to go

[Gnomicide]

How do you know they'll be £3? How much did they charge for bottles?

A bit more on the recycling at the festival ... thanks all the litter pickers and recycling centre operatives ..https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/green-glastonbury-recycling-at-glastonbury-festival/

I know barely anyone cares but I got this reply regarding milk from the festival.

Thank you for you enquiry. The policy does apply to milk also. This year, milk will be sold in recyclable  containers.

White Russians are back on the menu ?

For me, one of the most iconic sights at the pyramid stage is seeing the guy year after year selling Vodka Jellies - even in the fallow year I was lucky enough to meet him plying his trade at Beautiful Days. Can you sell individual Vodka Jelly in something other than little plastic pots???

The paper ‘shot’ pots of the type you squirt your ketchup / mayo into at fast food places or on cross channel ferries?
