AB has a heart for music and for our planet. We take sustainability into account in pretty much all of our decisions. We try to encourage environmentally friendly choices in our partnerships too.

With ‘No Music on a Dead Planet’, each month we highlight an ecological initiative. This time we’re zooming in on the recovery of our wastewater. A few weeks ago, a local purification station with granulates and plants was installed by hellowater. In it, our shower water is purified and reused in our toilets, rather than going directly into the sewerage system.

"AB is the first and only place in Brussels where such a purification tank was installed. We hope this can be an inspiration to others." (Eric De Vuyst)

Water scarcity or shortage of sufficient clean water has become a very pressing/relevant issue. As a music venue, we try to think innovatively too and to work on sustainable technological improvements.

Watch and listen along to colleague Eric De Vuyst, who manages our water use behind the scenes at AB.
