Eco-responsability in Premiers Plans

© Élise Rochard

The teams are working hard to make the event more environmentally friendly: encouraging soft mobility, waste management and accessibility have been the key points of our eco-responsible approach.

In concrete terms, for this first edition, Premiers Plans has put in place the following measures:

Surroundings of reception sites

Installation of devices to collect cigarette butts: 9 ashtrays installed at the entrances to the venues hosting the Festival

Energy conservation

• Our partners Hexa Repro and Evolis are committed to environmentally responsible practices (eco-designed printers and recycling of badges at the end of the event).

• No goodies were distributed to the public in order to minimise the production of short-lived objects.

More virtuous travel

• Car-sharing encouraged via three platforms: BlaBlaCar, TogetZer and Ouest Go

• Distribution of a map of cycle paths and cycle parking facilities in Angers

• Distribution of public transport timetables and routes to the event venue

• Specific signposting from Angers Saint-Laud station to the Convention Centre

Sustainable eating

• Recovery and reuse of bio-waste

Towards zero waste

• No disposable cups at the event (use of eco-cups returnable to Angers Loire Métropole or use of washable glasses in the catering area)

• Waste sorting in public and technical areas

An event for everyone

• The Festival is making its offer more accessible to all (in french)

• Introduction of means-tested pricing

• Setting up a wide range of cultural activities (in french) to encourage students, young people, families, senior citizens and people from culturally excluded and financially disadvantaged backgrounds to attend the event
