The Bandquet 2021

SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT

We were treated to a beautiful summers’ day for The Banquets’ inaugural show, in Hanmer Springs on 27 March 2021.

A day of great food, drink and music that was bound to stir the soul.

The South Islands newest Summer Event made its debut in Hanmer Springs, providing plentiful amounts of something enjoyable. The one-day event combined the perfect union of food, drink and music to satisfy your taste buds and ear buds! Couple this with amazing weather and the largest Kidtopian Zone of its type, all festival goers were guaranteed an extraordinary day out.

With a variety of big name artists and fan favourites such as; Kaylee Bell, Jason Kerrison Music, Sweet Mix Kids and The In Crowd, music was enjoyed by all.

Closed Loop teamed up with Carter Consultants to take care of their cleaning and waste management needs. Throughout the event, 12.85m3 of waste was collected. All waste was hand sorted on site into 5 separate waste streams. Closed Loop then sent 8.85m3 of that waste to be recycled or upcycled, giving this event an awesome result in their first year with a landfill diversion rate of 68.9%.
