Eliminating Single Use Plastic
BottleRock is eliminating all single use plastics in all areas of the festival and company offices.
BottleRock will provide free touchless water stations located throughout the festival site.
In 2022, 180,000 single use plastic water bottles were saved from the landfill.
Reusable wine glass program
We are using reusable glasses for our delicious wine program. By using a reusable wine glass, it helps us eliminate 55,000 single use wine glasses.
90% Less Water Usage
At BottleRock, we use primarily vacuum flushing toilets. Using these toilets uses 90% less water than traditional toilets.
Using flushable vs. traditional port-o-potties eliminates the “blue chemical” deodorizers made from formaldehyde, toxic to humans and harsh to the environment.
Transitioning to clean power
Eliminating Emissions
Park ’N Ride
Take the Bay Area bus!
We have partnered with Busbank out of 9 cities around the bay. We have 2,900 riders to the festival. This saves as many as 1,100 cars off the road.
Free Local Transit
Take local transit – The Vine Bus! We have 2,700 riders from around Napa Valley hopping on the Vine.
Free Bike Parking
RIDE YOUR BIKE!
1,000 bikes a day are parked at BottleRock, helping keep cars off the road.
Compostables + Recycling
Across the BottleRock Music Festival site, we use BPI certified compostable or plant fiber beverage and service ware. All materials can be fully composted at Napa Recycling and Waste Management.
We recycle cardboard, pallets, plastic wrap, construction debris, astro turf and even wine corks.
This year we’re collaborating with Ridwell to offer recycling solutions for corks and cords/cables/wire produced during the set up, breakdown, and production of the festival.
78% off all waste from our 2022 festival was composed or recycled!
Food Donations + Closing the Loop
BottleRock works year-round to improve our environmental sustainability and reduce waste. This year, we introduce BottleRock Upcycle: the post-festival donations and upcycling program.
The goal of this program is to identify and collect leftover or unwanted materials and redistribute them for reuse in the Napa Valley community.
We work directly with Feeding it Forward on all perishable and nonperishable food donations. Feed it Forward donates the food to the Napa Foodbank, local school and the community as a whole.
With your generous support, over 8,500 lbs. of food and other items were recovered from BottleRock 2022 and redistributed to 20+ organizations serving Napa County’s working poor and the vulnerable population of the elderly, veterans, children, and families. This is equivalent to 5,500 meals! Thank you BottleRockers.
