The festival, originally the Full Moon Festival, has been running for many years now but this year, MATTE PROJECTS decided to reinvent the experience with an eco-friendly focus. At the event, people could refresh themselves with Ever & Ever [canned water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wenlock-spring) and fresh filtered water at refill stations provided by Kleen Kanteen. Single-use plastics and straws were replaced with 100% compostable materials at food vendors, helping to cut down on a significant amount of waste. While La Luna did offer plenty of [fun festival merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melo-matcha-x-free-people) for event-goers to purchase, even the shirts were made from [recyclable textile waste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthytweens). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Festivals:** Opportunity for festivals to prioritize eco-friendly practices, such as using compostable materials and promoting sustainable merchandise. - **Eco-conscious Event Refreshments:** Potential for event organizers to offer environmentally friendly drink options, such as canned water and refill stations, reducing single-use plastic waste. - **Recyclable Textile Waste:** Businesses can explore innovative ways to turn textile waste into new products, like recyclable shirts, to promote a circular economy. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planners to incorporate sustainable practices and eco-friendly initiatives into their offerings, attracting environmentally conscious clients. - **Beverage Industry:** Potential for beverage companies to develop and market eco-conscious drink options, such as canned water, targeting environmentally conscious consumers. - **Textile and Fashion Industry:** Innovative potential in the textile industry to transform textile waste into recyclable products, allowing fashion brands to promote sustainability and reduce waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Music Festival Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-tent-left-behind.md) - [Environment-First Tourism Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paradise-city-festival.md) - [Sustainable Festival Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentos-pure-fresh-gum-stand.md) - [Hydrating Festival Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-hydration.md) - [Sustainable Edible Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haeckels-3.md) - [Upcycled Tent Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-festival-waste.md) - [Hybrid Metaverse Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolutland.md) - [Phone-Free Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phonefree-festival.md) - [Music Festival Vodka Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-tomorrowland.md)
