Would you drink beer made from your Urine?
A company has come up with the unusual project that will repurpose up to 25,000 litres of urine from 100,000 people at the festival to help create 425 kegs of beer.
Festivalgoers in Denmark are being asked to donate their urine to help make beer. The urine will then be stored and taken to nearby fields, where it will be used to fertilise barley.
The project is called ‘From P*ss to Pilsner’ and is being trialled at Europe’s largest music festival - Roskilde, in Zealand, Denmark - this week.
Dubbed ‘beercycling’, it is a joint initiative between the Danish Agriculture and Food Council (DAFC) and the festival’s organizers.
Men are asked to urinate into a metal trough, with a sign reading: ‘Don’t waste your p*ss. Danish farmers can turn it into beer again.’
‘We’ve got urinals right next to the stages where the acts will play, so we’re hoping to collect some rock star pee as well,’ Marie Grabow Westergaard from the DAFC told The Guardian.
The initiative is also intended to have a positive effect on the local environment.
‘Beercycling is about changing our approach to waste, from being a burden to being a valuable resource,’ said Leif Nielsen, head of communication for the DAFC.
‘Today, the huge amount of urine produced at the festival is having a negative impact on the environment and the sewage system and treatment plant in Roskilde.
