Eco 247 x The Melbourne Firelight Festival 2023

The Melbourne Firelight Festival 2023 lit up the city with its incredible mix of art, culture, and sustainability. Eco 247 was proud to play a part as the official supplier of firewood briquettes, supporting the Melbourne City Council’s goal of keeping the event carbon neutral.

Planting for a cleaner future

To help offset the festival’s carbon footprint, Eco 247 planted one tree for every bin of firewood briquettes sold. This simple step contributed to local reforestation, carbon reduction, and biodiversity conservation — proving that sustainability can be part of any great celebration.

Council-led sustainability

The Melbourne City Council ensured the festival maintained its carbon-neutral status through:

• Careful measurement and offsetting of event emissions

• Support for Eco 247’s tree-planting initiative

• Promotion of sustainable practices such as waste reduction and eco-friendly transport

A celebration of creativity and community

Firelight Festival once again showcased Melbourne’s creativity through stunning fire-based art, live performances, and local food vendors with a focus on sustainable operations. Families, artists, and visitors came together to celebrate connection, culture, and environmental awareness.

A partnership for the planet

The partnership between Eco 247 and the Melbourne City Council highlighted how businesses and local governments can work together to make large events both memorable and environmentally responsible.

By combining artistry with sustainability, the Melbourne Firelight Festival 2023 set a strong example of how community celebrations can leave a positive impact on the planet.
