IT WON'T COST THE EARTH
The team at Rippon believe that it is possible to run a successful festival while having a minimal impact on both the local and wider environment. In 2007 Lake Wanaka SouNZ Inc implemented a Waste Minimisation Policy and continues to work alongside Wanaka Wastebusters, as we move closer to our eventual aim of zero waste.
It is vital we work with the Mills family to protect the vineyard and the land. Rippon is a biodynamic family-run vineyard that has been producing quality wines since the 1970s. To ensure the continued success of the event, we need the support and contribution of all festival-goers.
Our goal for Rippon 2012 is to achieve an 92% waste diversion rate. To be honest, we thought we might be closer to the zero waste aim by 2012; however items brought in by the public and waste left at the lake have been hindering this effort. Here's what we are planning for the day, and hope you will support us in our goals.

The aim of the Rippon committee is to minimise waste and maximise recycling in all areas of the festival.
