Our initiatives

    1 1

  1. Piknic Électronik encourages the use of sustainable transportation to get to the site: on foot, by bike, by subway, by bus, by Bixi, or by river shuttle. Choosing active or collective mobility reduces the carbon footprint of your visit while contributing to a more friendly and safe atmosphere around the site.

  3. Water fountains are available on site to ensure adequate hydration throughout the day and evening. The use of reusable water bottles is encouraged in order to limit the use of single-use bottles.

  5. Piknic has set up a sorting station to simplify waste management. Waste can be deposited there so that the team can sort it and ensure that recyclable and compostable materials are properly separated. This approach aims to reduce errors and improve waste recovery. In addition to maximizing waste management, the station is also a place for exchange and learning. Relevant content and educational and fun materials highlight the event's environmental practices and raise visitors' awareness of the right actions to take.

  7. Fully committed to eliminating single-use plastic given to festival-goers, Piknic Électronik was the first festival in Quebec to introduce returnable glasses and buckets. Deposits apply to reusable dishes ($2) provided in all food trucks, as well as buckets ($4) and cups ($2). The amount is fully refundable at the deposit or sorting station when the items are returned. A simple, effective, and responsible gesture.

  9. Ashtrays specially designed to collect cigarette butts are located throughout the site. These facilities allow tobacco waste to be recycled responsibly and keep the site clean. Used e-cigarettes must be deposited at the Sorting Station so that they are not thrown away with regular waste.

  11. Respecting wildlife means staying on the trails and in the areas designated for festival-goers. It is essential to avoid walking on sensitive green spaces in order to protect plants and natural habitats.

  13. Piknic Électronik offers the opportunity to make a green donation when purchasing a ticket or via this link to support the festival in carrying out sustainable development projects (tree planting, training, social projects, etc.).
