Thanks for being a part of the second annual 2018 MEMPHO Music Festival! Our greening initiative is a collaboration amongst the MEMPHO Crew, Artists, Vendors, Attendees and the Memphis Community, If we all work together, we can keep Shelby Farms, a clean and beautiful environment for everyone to enjoy throughout the weekend.
For our first year, we are taking great strides to become a Zero-Waste event. Which means 90% of all of the waste produced at our event will be recycled, composted, or reused—only 10% will be treated like garbage. While it is an ambitious goal for the festival to completely impact free, we believe that by working together and staying true to our values, we can work to keep the festival's impact as low as possible and continue to lessen our impact year after year. To make this initiative a reality, we need help from all of our vendors.
We are bringing composting to MEMPHO, and our compost facility takes ALL compostable products along with all food waste. We want to divert as much waste away from the landfill as possible. In order to do that, we need to make sure that all products that the vendors are purchasing are 100% compostable.
We are very excited to announce, all vendors can order through Eco-Products, this will help ensure that everything is compostable. If you have any questions, or can't find what you are looking for, please reach out to Marina, the Sustainability Director for MEMPHO, her email is

We greatly appreciate all of your help and corporation in making this a Zero-Waste event!
