The Eco Rider
Set the standard before you hit the stage. The Eco-Rider 2.0 is our sustainability rider empowering artists to put environmentally friendly hospitality requirements directly into their bookings, helping venues and festivals move away from single-use plastic and towards better alternatives.
Already adopted by 1,500+ artists worldwide, the Eco-Rider has helped prevent 325,000+ plastic bottles and 425,000+ cups from entering circulation.
Real impact, one document.

THE BASICS
WHAT is THE ECO-RIDER?
The Eco-Rider is a standard addendum to your performance contract that replaces single-use plastics with sustainable alternatives. It is a commitment from both the artist and the promoter to ensure the backstage and stage area reflect the artist and Bye Bye Plastic’s vision of a plastic-free music culture.
The result? No single-use backstage. More sustainable shows. A better industry standard.
