Sustainability at Gin Fest’26
At this year’s Gin Fest, 88.2% of event waste was diverted from landfill.
This was made possible through reusable aluminium cups, reusable dishes across food vendors, dedicated waste sorting teams, and support from the Queenstown Lakes District Council and DISHrupt.
Sustainability is an ongoing focus for Gin Fest as we continue working to reduce waste and improve the environmental impact of the event each year.
