Sustainability project:
Recycling dance floors and projection screens

Due to the increasing discussion about the production of sustainable performances, productions and events in the cultural and entertainment sector, Gerriets wants to break new ground. We see it as a self-commitment to return recyclable materials that we supply to the cultural and entertainment sector to the product cycle as effectively as possible and free of charge for the customer. In this way, we want to contribute step by step to the implementation of sustainable productions in our industry.

The idea:

Germany-wide central collection points where all pure PVC dance floors, dance floors with foamed backs and all projection and round horizon screens made of PVC are collected free of charge. The large theatres and opera houses or their central workshops are planned as collection points, in smaller cities the municipal theatres.

In a first production process, pram wheels and wheels for lawn mowers are made from the collected PVC material. In the second step, it is planned to use the recycled material to produce sustainably produced products with a high recycling content for the culture and entertainment sector.
