Thousands of festival-goers. Two iconic festivals. And one small pick making a big statement for the planet.\u00a0This year\u2019s Rock am Ring and Rock im Park weren\u2019t just\u00a0about guitars, drums, and crowd-surfing. They were also about rethinking foodservice \u2014 and pioneering more sustainable ways\u00a0to serve food.\u00a0Together with\u00a0Gastro Team Bremen (GTB)<\/u><\/a>, part of\u00a0Aramark Germany,<\/u><\/a>\u00a0we brought our traceless\u00ae friespickers to life at two of Europe\u2019s biggest festivals.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s your backstage pass to how this small friespicker ended up in the spotlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a major user of single-use items, the food-service industry plays a key role in the shift toward sustainable materials. Regulations and taxes on single-use plastics are accelerating the shift \u2014 and food providers are searching for alternatives that are both functional and future-proof.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why festivals like Rock am Ring & Rock im Park are taking sustainability seriously. And the collaboration with GTB highlights how the foodservice sector can drive real change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While reusable systems are essential in many settings, they aren\u2019t always practical at large-scale events with limited logistics. Balancing convenience and efficiency with sustainability remains a challenge. In these cases, traceless offers a solution \u2014 combining the practicality of single-use with the responsibility of circular design.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soundcheck: A New Kind of Pick  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

traceless\u00ae friespickers are made from our certified plastic-free, biobased, and home-compostable material \u2014 based on plant-based agricultural residues. They\u2019re part of our growing traceless\u00ae food-service collection, which also includes cutlery, ice cream spoons, food trays, and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our resource-efficient production process reduces CO\u2082 emissions by around 90% compared to conventional plastic. Thanks to its granulate format, the material can be processed into flexible films, coatings, and rigid items \u2014 like our tested friespicker. They\u2019re convenient, safe, and entirely free from plastics, microplastics, and harmful chemicals \u2014 making them a smart pick for both people and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Line-Up: Collaboration in Harmony <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Big stages require big coordination. And this pilot wouldn\u2019t have happened without the combined efforts of a powerful line-up: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
