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

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

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... :D

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

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?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
