In July we went along to Lovebox festival in Victoria Park, London with our ‘Can you kick it’ football challenge. In exchange for recycling drink cans, festival goers got to have a go at shooting the fastest goal in the speed cage competition.
A huge congrats to our winners, Koray and Annie, who managed to score the fastest balls of 68mph and 50mph respectively – well done guys!
Each can recycled saves energy and raw materials, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. For example recycling one tonne of aluminium cans saves 9 tonnes of CO2 emissions. So it’s fair to say that the can recycling activities over the course of the Festival made a significant contribution to cutting the Festival’s carbon footprint.
