Our Commitment to Sustainability

Not just on screen — but in everything we do.

At LandxSea, sustainability isn’t just a theme we programme — it’s a value we live. From festival planning to print design, catering to carbon tracking, we aim to reduce our environmental footprint and show what's possible when creativity meets climate care.

We want audiences to walk away from our events feeling not only inspired, but empowered to make everyday choices that support a healthier planet.

Our Core Commitments

Here’s what we prioritise behind the scenes and on the ground:

Zero Waste: We design our events to avoid landfill waste, prioritising reusable, recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable materials. No single-use plastic, ever.
Local Sourcing: We work with local suppliers whenever possible to reduce transport emissions and support our community.
Plant-Based Food: Our hospitality is mostly plant-based and, whenever possible, sourced from local farms and caterers who share our values. Less carbon, more flavour.
Conscious Travel: We encourage low- or zero-carbon travel — by train, bike, foot, or bus — for audiences, guests, and our own team.

Behind the Scenes

Our core team works remotely, minimising travel.
When we meet in person, we prioritise public transport — and thanks to Montrose’s direct train links to cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, and even London, that’s easy to do.
We source materials locally whenever possible, and design everything to be reused or recycled.

Low-Waste Marketing

We favour digital-first outreach, reducing the need for print.
When we do print, we use recycled paper, local vendors, and smart designs:
- Our 2024 programme was a fold-out map — no glue, no staples.
- Our vinyl banners are reused each year, with new dates stitched on by hand. (Can you spot the updated panel below?)

At Our Events

Our venue partner, the Montrose Playhouse, is a community-owned cinema and arts hub that shares our sustainability goals — from energy efficiency to waste management.

Zero Waste in Practice

All event decor and materials are reused, rented, or made from sustainable content.
Composting and recycling stations are provided across the venue, with clear signage.
We work with vendors to ensure all serving ware is compostable or washable.

Sustainable Catering

Our hospitality events feature locally sourced, plant-forward menus, whenever possible.
No single-use serving ware, and we take active steps to reduce food waste.

Eco Fair

Our Eco Fair connects festival-goers with local green businesses, groups, and initiatives. From upcycled crafts to climate action signups, it’s a hands-on way to meet the people making change happen in Angus — and take something home beyond a goodie bag.
