Our selection criteria
The solutions may well have a target group that is not related to Roskilde Festival, as long as the product can be tested within the framework of the festival.
We assess the solutions based on the following criteria:
- Test readiness
- Innovation
- Contribution to green transition
- Value added to the festival experience, the festival organisation or society in general
- Scalability
- Age: The Circular Lab's target group is young entrepreneurs primarily under the age of 30
Read here what two entrepreneurs got out of testing their products in the Circular Lab at Roskilde Festival 2022.
Plastic Projects tested the use of recycled plastic as a building material:
"The test showed that our boards were too thin and bent over time. We have therefore subsequently developed a new production method which means that we now can make beams and thicker plates. We found the limit of what our boards could do – we would never have found that if we hadn't had this testing opportunity”.
Tempty Foods, which develops alternatives to meat, tested their products on consumers:
"We ended up changing our product after the test at Roskilde Festival. Now we have a cheaper, newer product than what we thought we were going to go with. But people liked the second much better, and we were very surprised at how significant the difference was”.
