Beginner's Guide to Preventing Food Waste At Home

Tim Vincent-Smith, Lead Artist and Co-Director of Pianodrome joins Earth Care for episode 11 of the Sustainability in the Live Music Industry series.

Pianodrome’s home base is in Edinburgh, Scotland and is a radical re-imagining of the piano in today’s throw away culture.

In 2017, bandmates Tim Vincent-Smith and Matthew Wright developed a creative way to extend the piano’s story while diverting it from a landfill. The team at Pianodrome built the first amphitheatre made entirely from upcycled pianos and delivered it to Edinburgh Fringe Fest where it saw 18,000 visitors. Since then, the Pianodrome has evolved into an iconic symbol of community and cultural resilience.

They’re a volunteer-based team that welcomes donated pianos and host adopt-a-piano days. Their creations include the Glasgow Arc, Leeds Piano Trail, Old Royal Pianodrome and more. 

In this episode, Tim Vincent-Smith walks us through the careful labour that goes into dissecting a piano, then upcycling it into something new. He shares details on their adopt-a-piano days and how many pianos it takes to build an amphitheater. Tim also shares a few special stories about musical experiences from the amphitheater and the community it’s built.

Turning Famous Guitar Strings into Wearable Band Merch | S5 E10

Jan Portheine, Co-Founder & CEO of KarTent, joins Earth Care for episode 9 of the Sustainability in the Live Music Industry Series. 

KarTent is a sustainable solutions company based out of Amsterdam. Their name means cardboard tent because their original product was exactly that! After witnessing the waste left on music festival campgrounds, founders Jan and Wout wanted to develop a solution. Through their research, they found that 1 in 4 tents were left behind at festivals in the Netherlands alone. 

Together, they developed a completely recyclable cardboard tent that was made from strong wood fibers, could survive heavy rain and fit two people. The tents were delivered to music festival sites, then taken back when it was over to use the cardboard again. 

KarTent’s philosophy is that cardboard offers a perfect alternative for all kinds of products and is a sustainable alternative. Although they no longer produce tents, they now over 200 different products that are completely recyclable!

In this episode, Jan Portheine, co-founder and CEO of KarTent, discusses the problem of tents left behind at music festivals and the sustainable solution his company offers. The conversation covers the background of KarTent, the environmental impact of discarded tents, the process of turning cardboard into a sturdy tent, the logistics and challenges of KarTent, and the transition to other cardboard products. Jan also provides advice for individuals on reducing their impact at festivals.
