From Rock am Ring to Revolution: The Ultimate Field Test

Tens of thousands of fries, zero plastic waste – how festivals became the testing ground for the future

Festivals are brutal. Thousands of people, extreme conditions, zero tolerance for failure. If your product doesn’t work here, it won’t work anywhere. Together with Traceless® Materials GmbH and GTB Gastro Team Bremen, we put No2ndPlanet cutlery to exactly this test: Rock am Ring & Rock im Park 2025. Spoiler: It worked. Damn well, actually.

The Challenge: Real-World Conditions Without a Safety Net

Festivals are the harshest environment for disposable products. Greasy fries, hot sauces, wet hands, no time for compromises. If a product fails here, customers notice immediately – and the brand suffers. We didn’t just want to show our cutlery works. We wanted to prove it’s better.

The Numbers: 10,000+ Portions, 0 Complaints

Over two festival weekends, tens of thousands of fries portions were served – with our home-compostable cutlery. The feedback? No sogging, no breaking, no ‘feels weird’. Guests didn’t notice the difference from plastic. Mission accomplished.

The Proof: Performance Meets Impact

The field test proved: Home-compostable cutlery isn’t a niche alternative for eco-idealists. It’s a full-fledged mass-market solution. Robust, functional, practical – and in the end not waste, but nutrients. That’s the difference between theory and reality.
