At Liffin, everything starts with the experience. The accommodations they develop are designed to be comfortable, easy to transport and set up and above all: built to last.
That calls for smart choices in design and material selection. More and more, Liffin opts for technical cotton fabrics that absorb less moisture and stay looking good for longer. Not necessarily cheaper but definitely more sustainable. “What we build has to be durable without compromising on experience or comfort.”
What makes Liffin unique is how it connects sustainability with social value.
“What we can no longer use doesn’t have to become waste,” says Benjamin.
Sleeping bags left behind at festivals are collected, cleaned, and transformed into Sheltersuits. Sheltersuit staff and volunteers gather the sleeping bags directly from the festival grounds. “They help us with cleanup, we support them with work and the sleeping bags get a second life. A win-win situation.”
The collaboration goes beyond simply reusing materials. Tents with minor defects, such as a broken zipper or a loose strap are now brought to the Sheltersuit workshop in Enschede. There, they are repaired during the low season exactly when there is less work available.
“In the past, we didn’t have a partner who could handle tents of this size or quantity. Now we do and it also creates additional jobs.”
Liffin and Sheltersuit are working together toward a future where less waste is left behind on festival grounds and more people receive protective clothing.
Together, they are exploring how materials no longer suitable for camping can still be reused, for example, to create new products like bags or accessories.
The collaboration between Liffin and Sheltersuit shows what’s possible when commercial and social goals reinforce one another. While Liffin delivers high-quality festival experiences, Sheltersuit ensures that used materials don’t go to waste, but are given a second life as protection for people experiencing homelessness.
Together, we’re shaping a world where sustainability, dignity, and solidarity go hand in hand from the festival grounds to the city streets.
What was once part of a festival experience can now offer protection to someone without a home. And maybe that’s the most meaningful afterparty imaginable.
