SmartPly and Greenpeace worked together to put into place a greener and – literally – cleaner element to this year’s Glastonbury Festival experience. SmartPly donated a range of its exterior resin bonded structural OSB panels to create a huge public shower area at the festival.
The 18mm-thick SmartPly OSB3 enclosed the zero carbon showers, which were powered and heated by an Okofen wood pellet boiler and solar panels. The design also conserves water by using low output showerheads.
Mark Townson, site manager for Greenpeace at Glastonbury, said: “The FSC certification of SmartPly is vital, and it’s a product we’ve used before and will have a need for again. Anything we can do to make the festival experience a greener and cleaner one, for both the festival goers and the climate, is important and environmentally responsible choices for all the materials help to make this happen”.
Greenpeace and SmartPly have worked together on several projects at Glastonbury, including the use of SmartPly OSB for tables, recycled tyre and cafe seating and even the Greenpeace Glasto crew site office and canteen.
