203 60 ENZE DO YOU ALSO HAVE CHAIRITY? S. Ellebæk, M. Nørgaard, and P. Brogaard DTU Diplom, Technical University of Denmark INTRODUCTION It is so easy to forget to clean up after yourself, when the last tone is played at Orange scene at Roskilde Festival. Roskilde Festival is over and you have to go home after a wild and wet festival. Every year this leaves the organizers of the festival with a huge amount of waste including tents, pavilions and festival chairs. To prevent this situation, we want to present a new and green way to sit at Roskilde Festival, and with time any other outdoor event or festival. We will present two of the main features of our project: - A re-designed single-material version of the currently most used chair at the festival. - A concept to bring back and re-cycle the chairs after use. The idea behind our project is to lower the number of discarded chairs at the end of the festival. Our chair is, unlike the currently most used chair, made of only a single type of material, which means the chair is easier to recycle when the cleaners at the festival have gathered the trash after the festival. Our project is also a concept. We offer the customer to rent a chair. The price includes a deposit and a smaller amount of money, for renting the chair. If the chair breaks or anything else happens, the customer is then always in his or hers right to bring the chair to a booth at the festival, and for a smaller amount of money, get the chair replaced with a new. At the end of the festival, the festival visitor can return the chair, in case they don’t want to keep it, and we refund the deposit. If the refunded chair is not in a condition where it can be used again, the chair should be able to be re-melted and reshaped to a new chair for a future festival. With our partner “Roskilde Festival” struggling with the high amount of trash after the festival, this chair could be a little step forward towards a solution to the huge problem.
