The third edition of the biggest festival in Bucharest is fast approaching: between June 23-25, SAGA Festival will bring music lovers three days of memorable shows: seven stages, a line-up with over 100 artists including, for the first time in Romania, Lil Nas X, Wiz Khalifa, Mochakk, Franky Wah and many others, impressive production and many surprises.

This year, SAGA encourages festival-goers and artists to become environmentally friendly and reduce the impact on the environment, by recycling and reusing waste through the partnership with Green Corporation, a group of companies with a focus on the circular economy: Green Point, OIREP, Green Pack, a company specialized in the collection and treatment of waste from commercial and industrial flows and waste management, which owns its own sorting station and LDPE recycling factory, as well as Green Unit, a company specialized in environmental and human resources consulting.

SAGA Festival and Green Corporation will have as their mission in this edition #zerowastetolandfill.

The waste generated during the festival will be collected separately and transported to the Green Pack sorting station, one of the most modern in Romania, where it will be packaged and then recycled or recovered in specialized units.

Not only packaging waste will go through the recycling process, but also the organic fraction. This will be transported for the valorization process or transformation into compost. To reduce the carbon footprint, the waste will be collected with the electric car fleet owned by Green Pack.

Festival-goers and all those who will be present in the Romaero space are encouraged to collect waste separately, to throw it only in specially designed areas, to come to the event with scooters, bicycles, public transport or several people in the same car with the help of ride-sharing applications.

During the festival, both food and beverage vendors will use sustainable, environmentally friendly products, as well as local products.

Also in the festival, Green Corporation will bring a “green” component to the Switch hijacked by Hustle stage, where artists such as IAN, Deliric, Nane, Killa Fonic, and Șatra B.E.N.Z. will go on stage and create a super atmosphere in one of the hangars at Romaero.

Together with the retailer Carrefour, GreenPoint will have several Waste Warriors at the festival who will surprise festival-goers, encouraging an environmentally friendly lifestyle every day.

Green Corporation is a group of Romanian companies, a leader in its market segment, which, since its establishment, aims to encourage the circular economy and an effective transition, sustainability in all its aspects, environmental protection and education in this direction.
