In a drive towards sustainability and innovation, the IX edition of the Laboral Kutxa Bilbao Surf Film Festival 2024 starts with an ecological initiative on the beaches of Getxo. From December to February 2024, six special containers will be available at local sandy beaches for the collection of plastic waste. This action not only promotes beach cleanliness, but also has a creative purpose: the collected waste will be recycled to manufacture the festival awards using 3D printing, demonstrating a commitment to the environment and the circular economy.

La campaign seeks to involve the community in caring for its beaches, continuing the festival's tradition of promoting environmental awareness. In previous editions, the festival organized participatory cleaning days, a reflection of its commitment to sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The current initiative, presented at Fangaloka, has the support of local entities and organizations dedicated to environmental care, reinforcing the relationship between the festival, the community and the natural environment.
