After debuting in 2017, the sustainability-focused Deep Tropics festival has established itself as a singularly environmentally-friendly event. The fest has no trash cans on site, with all materials at the festival being either compostable, recyclable or reusable. The event reports that in 2024, it reached an 87% diversion rate, saving 7,387 pounds of waste from entering landfills.
Amid a flurry of other sustainability initiatives, the event has also assisted in the planting of more than 101,000 trees since 2001. This year’s edition of Deep Tropics is set to power the majority of the festival with renewable energy systems and batteries.
