Sustainability
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact whilst having a boogie at Rockstar Energy presents TRNSMT.
As proud signatories of the Green Nation Sustainability Charter, we're here to preserve the live music experience for generations to come. Being Scotland's biggest music festival, we're on a mission to use our creativity to drive positive social and environmental change. We’ve already exceeded major targets in the charter, including:
- Since 2021, investing in sustainable biodiesel for generators and on-site vehicles, helping us to reduce emissions from generator use.
- Between 2022 and 2024, reducing direct emissions from energy by a further 21% through efficiency measures, including moving major parts of our back of house operations to pre-existing infrastructure.
- Recycling 69% of our waste in 2024, a 3% increase on 2023.
- Not sending any waste to landfill for the past four years.
- 90% of traders every year offer a meat-free option, reducing food emissions.
- Since 2022, we’ve worked with local organisations including Advanced Clothing Solutions, R:evolve, Police Scotland Youth Volunteers, and Glasgow Eco Trust to help us achieve our sustainability goals.
We're also members of Vision:2025, an amazing network of over 500 outdoor events and businesses that are taking serious climate action. As members, we're all about reducing our climate impact, measuring our emissions annually, and working to share experiences and develop best practices in the events industry.
Sustainable Fashion
Shopping sustainably creates better working conditions for people and the planet. Pick up a vintage polo, have a game of who wore it better with yer pal, or simply choose better quality materials - our fashion choices make a real difference.
Travel
Travel home cheap and cheerfully, with trains, free bus travel for under 22’s and loads of coaches – it’s a no brainer! Let’s play our part by making sustainable travel choices.
Keep the Site Clean & Use the Right Bins
By using our composting bins to recycle cups and food containers, you're helping turn waste into energy and heat for Scottish homes.
Let's keep our festival site clean while using the right bins. Let's Play Our Part and maximise composting - supporting sustainable energy and heat production.
Reduce Plastic Waste
Stay hydrated and help reduce plastic waste. We've set up free to use water points across the site where you can refill your bottle again and again. It's super simple… bring a soft or collapsible water bottle and use our water points to keep your bottle filled.
Quick note: Make sure your refillable water bottle is made of soft, collapsible material and holds 500ml or less. We have reusable water bottles available to purchase here. Forgot your water bottle? We have reusable water bottles available to purchase at the merch stand located on-site!
Do not bring single-use disposable vapes. These are prohibited items as they pollute the environment and incorrect disposal can be hazardous at waste centres.
