Ape & Banana: A New User Experience For Collecting Biobased Disposables at Festivals

This paper reports a study on the implementation of a bio-plastic material (PLA) for disposables at the Lowlands Music Festival. The main aim of the study is to develop a system which motivates Lowlands festival visitors to litter their PLA disposables effectively. In the paper, littering behavior of festival visitors, their norms and values are explored; and several approaches are discussed for creating a motivation for effective littering at Lowlands. Two concepts are created and tested at the festival. One of them is selected and further developed.
