Fuse Sustainability
Fuse Festival is very conscious of our environmental footprint. We are committed to promoting environmental awareness and responsibility, not least to ensure that the beautiful gardens and open spaces of our home, Lichfield’s
Beacon Park, are respected and protected.
Here’s some of the things we did in 2024-
To limit plastic waste, we used our reusable cups at this bar this year. With special thanks to sponsor Access Bookings.
We used 2024 as an opportunity to understand our energy usage by tracking power demand across our site.
We had plenty of bins around the site so there was every opportunity to dispose of waste responsibly.
Our skip provider is one of the greenest around so it didn’t matter which bin you put your rubbish in. It all gets dealt with responsibly. Read more about them here – www.briers.co.uk
We continued to choose local businesses for event services and supplies as we look to limit our travel miles.
We worked to further understand where our audience is travelling from and how.
We had the wonderful volunteers from Lichfield Litter Legends helping us make sure our site was kept litter free during and after the festival.
We are working with Vision 2025, a not-for-profit organisation helping the outdoor events industry take action on the climate crisis, providing advice, tools, resources, news and events for a community of over 500 events
and businesses. You can read more about it here – www.vision2025.org.uk
We are also using tools and initiatives from pioneering non-profit organisation Julies Bicycle, who mobilise the arts and culture to take action on the climate, nature and justice crisis. Read more about it here – www.juliesbicycle.com
