Can you sell individual Vodka Jelly in something other than little plastic pots??? The chap who sprays himself silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what we’re ordering for our infused alcohol day on the Thursday rather than the plastic shot glasses of old. You’re right, should work for jelly as well!

I’d try some straight jelly in them first before risking vodka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morph100 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Got my homebrew beer nearly ready to bottle up so now investigating steel swing top reusable bottles for it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenelk Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 We're anticipating around 20 different infused alcohols, and just pondering what to bring them in. We usually save bottles from squash and the like. Need to be at least 500ml. @morph100 have you got a link to any of the steel bottles you mention?

Zoo Music Girl Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I think you can still bring plastic bottles on site by the way (if you're reusing them to fill with spirits etc) and not leave it behind. You just can't buy plastic there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Taking place today at the International Music Summit (IMS Ibiza) 2019, key music industry members met to discuss the reduction of single-use plastics within the industry. With the discussion taking place around the ‘Bye Bye To Plastics – How The Music Industry Can Evolve Together For A Greener Future’ panel, it was highlighted that according to ‘The Show Must Go On, An Alarming Report From Festival Thinktank - Powerful Thinking’, UK festivals produce 23,500 tonnes of waste with audiences consuming 10 million plastic bottles per year. The report also indicates that UK festivals use 5 million litres of fuel and emit almost 20,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) every single year.

Put out my recycling last night and still amazes me how much plastic we use even though we have cut down where we can. Food Packaging needs a real re-think. No idea what the answer is but we can send rockets to mercury and Pluto so we should be able to work it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even peanut butter comes in plastic pots nowadays, having given up on the glass it used for decades. It can't be that hard to switch back, surely?

Mr.Tease Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 6 hours ago, Sawdusty Surfer said: Here they are. This might be a daft question- but is it weird drinking water from a can? I remember when they tried canned milk a decade or two ago and it bombed because people just thought it was wrong! I mainly drink pop and I've never liked the move to plastic bottles (I'm sure it was only done to inflate the price), so will be glad to see a return to cans- they make a most satisfying sound when you open them and contain just the right amount.
