Making Recycling Easier for Everyone — Even at Major Events
Zandvoort – August 27th, 2024 – Envipco is excited to announce the debut of the Mobile Festival Container at one of the most prestigious events of the year—the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort. We have partnered with Statiegeld Nederland and Renewi to introduce an innovative and ambitious solution for collecting deposit PET bottles and cans. The Mobile Festival Container, conveniently located on Pitlane, utilizes three Envipco Optima Dual RVMs (Reverse Vending Machines). This container offered attendees the opportunity to easily recycle their packaging, receive their deposit back via Tikkie, or donate it to charity.

Jan Lindenaar, Senior Business Development Manager for Envipco Benelux, shared our excitement: “We are highly satisfied with this great collaborative effort. It’s exciting to see our reverse vending machines being used at festivals and outdoor events. This provides a fantastic opportunity for people attending these events to recycle on the go, and judging by the collection rates after the event, it exceeded our expectations. We are proud to make recycling easier for everyone.”
A New Era for Recycling at Events
The Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix is known for attracting massive crowds, and with them comes the challenge of managing waste effectively. The need for more collection points at such large-scale events is critical, and the Mobile Festival Container is designed to meet this need efficiently. By providing a convenient and visible location for recycling, we are not only helping to collect more deposit containers but also promoting responsible waste management among event and festival-goers.

This initiative is not just about convenience; it’s about driving a larger movement toward sustainability. The positive feedback we’ve received so far reinforces our belief that this is a significant step forward in the way recycling is handled at public events.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, Envipco remains committed to expanding our reach and impact. The success of the Mobile Festival Container at the Dutch Grand Prix is just the beginning. We are eager to explore new opportunities to bring our innovative solutions to more festivals and outdoor events across the globe.
Our collaboration with Statiegeld Nederland and Renewi has set a new standard for what can be achieved when industry leaders come together with a common goal. We are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, making recycling easier and more efficient for everyone.
