HOW SUSTAINABILITY WORKS
STAY HYDRATED at the HR FESTIVAL europe
Sustainability is important to us. That is why we are continuing our cooperation with FILL ME and Kärcher at the HR FESTIVAL europe 2025, with the aim of creating an event that is as PET-free as possible.
As in previous years, there are several Kärcher water stations in the halls where you can get free water. Borrow a FILL ME bottle or bring your own drinking bottle. After your visit, return the borrowed FILL ME bottle at the exit so that it can be washed and used again.
