Co-Founder at SEAVENTS - Responsible Event Solutions - Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
We believe in waste free festivals. Our mission is to reduce waste at the source by educating and inspiring festival goers globally on what a waste free society could look like. All to protect the ocean environment against human pressures."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Responsible Event ManagersDriven by a passion for surfing and care for global environmental issues, the idea came to mind to incorporate sustainability into commercial activities within the festival industry. This is how the zero waste project SEAVENTS was born. Simon Witt and Toon Hurkmans took on a challenging project to make Surfana Festival 2018 waste free. This was the perfect opportunity to put the new concept to the test. After the first trial and the addition of Jeroen van der Kolk to the team, SEAVENTS is ready to scale up our impact within the Dutch/Global event industry."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""We take control of waste production and waste management. Therefore we are able to reduce the amounts produced drastically, as well as making sure that the amounts produced are correctly sorted and reused/recycled.
