At Tomorrowland, the environmental impact is acknowledged.
For Tomorrowland Winter, significant efforts are made to reduce the festival’s footprint—from promoting sustainable transport options to minimizing waste on-site. Every detail is considered to align celebration with responsibility, ensuring the magic of the mountains can be enjoyed by generations to come.
Whether in De Schorre, Belgium or in the French Alps, operations are conducted with great respect for nature and the environment where the festival is organized, aiming for continuous improvement.
The mission is simple: to honor and protect the beauty of the mountains and foster a future where nature and people thrive together. Adherence to the rules applicable in France is ensured by Tomorrowland, and clear agreements have been established with the various authorities and SATA.
Love Tomorrow is a platform, integral to the essence of Tomorrowland, dedicated to narrating and creating solutions for a sustainable future.
A Journey Towards Sustainability

Recycle Teams & Recycle Backpacks

Carbon Footprint with Climate Camp
In collaboration with Climate Camp, the carbon assessment and mapping of the 2026 edition of Tomorrowland Winter will be carried out. This crucial step lays the foundation for future sustainable actions, ensuring informed and well-measured decisions for future Love Tomorrow initiatives.
Clean Energy: Biofuels and a fixed power network
All production transport for Tomorrowland Winter will operate on HVO during build and break of the festival. This will help reduce productional transport emissions up to 90% in comparison with regular fossil fuels.
All stages at the festival will operate on fixed power, with the Mainstage uniquely utilizing HVO fuel. This marks a significant stride in the journey towards a fully green clean energy future. A complete shift to HVO fuel and fixed power, a powerful move.
• Reducing energy-related carbon emissions by 80%.
• This switch saves 387 tonnes of CO2
• This is equivalent to 42 individual annual emissions.
• Or 3523 car journeys from Paris to Alpe d’Huez.

Go Conscious
Admire wildlife and alpine flora from a distance—never disturb their natural habitat. Avoid using products that could harm the environment or the delicate mountain ecosystem. Every small act of care helps preserve the beauty of Alpe d’Huez for all to enjoy.
Pack Smart, Live Lightly
Only bring what you truly need—packing light means less hassle, lower fuel consumption, and a smaller environmental footprint. Be mindful with ski equipment too; you don’t need new gear every season. Choose high-quality, sustainable materials, buy second-hand, or rent your clothing to reduce waste.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Minimize packaging wherever possible and switch to reusable alternatives. At Tomorrowland Winter, recycling isn’t optional—it’s essential. Make sure to separate plastic bottles, cans, and beverage containers properly, and always leave the mountain as clean as you found it.
Carpool with friends to reduce your carbon footprint—it’s a simple step that makes a big difference, and it’s way more fun too!
