At Andanças there will be no disposable plastic cups, plates or cutlery. Reusable mugs are available for every participant and whenever possible we provide reusable plates and cutlery, which will be washed after the meals. In the few cases this is not possible, paper cups and plates will be used and composted on site.
The Mug is a symbol of Andanças and of PédeXumbo – something you will find very useful at the festival. Bring your own mug from home with a capacity of up to 20 cl (can be of any material and form). Or you get one at the festival for a small deposit. At the end you can return it and get your money back. Everyone profits from this concept, but above all we avoid disposable plastic cups.
Drinking water will be provided through the tap on several access points. This way we avoid the use of plastic bottles. Other drinks, like beer, will be served from the tap in order to reduce consumption of glass bottles and cans. We also encourage the use of sugar bowls instead of individual sugar sachets, and of alternatives toplastic sticks for stirring coffee.
