Environmental work

The Environmental Handbook:
In 2004, we released the first edition of the Environmental Handbook on how to arrange greener festivals. The Øya Festival, as the originator of the project, has been the pilot enterprise in the compilation of the book. Most of the examples are therefore taken from Øya’s environmental work.

The Øya Festival wanted to build a strong reputation as one of the most environmentally sound festivals in Norway and give its visitors the opportunity to act in an environmentally conscious manner. The second edition of the handbook is available in both English and Norwegian versions.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can make the festival more environmentally friendly?
Please contact our environmental manager Julie Forchhammer.
