Het theater volgt zijn milieu-impact op een gestructureerde manier met behulp van een meetinstrument dat speciaal voor de culturele sector is ontwikkeld, in plaats van maatregelen te nemen zonder vaste indicatoren om de…
Lowering our impact, together.
maGnet pools the sustainable practices of film, audiovisual, festivals, visual arts and live performance. Everyone shares what worked for them, everyone draws on what others have tested — by craft, by sector and by impact category.
70 practices · 33 source organisations · 16 professions represented
By impact category
The categories shared by the sector's carbon calculators, so that practices plug straight into your estimates.
- Transport crew travel, equipment movement, freight 12 practices

- Materials sets, costumes, props, consumables 12 practices
- Waste sorting, reuse, donation, end of life of sets and consumables 11 practices

By craft and department
A department cuts across sectors: a set-reuse practice holds for a shoot, a theatre stage and an exhibition alike. It is the most useful way into the database.

By sector
Film, audiovisual, festivals, visual arts, live performance: the same impact categories, different constraints. The database earns its keep when they cross.

maGnet puts good practices into circulation
A French festival and a German shoot often solve the same problem: here, what one has tested serves the other. The database brings together film, audiovisual, festivals, visual arts and live performance across several countries — what works on a set often holds for a stage, and the way a neighbouring country handles a constraint sheds light on your own.
Practices go live immediately. Moderation happens afterwards, on report, and is handled by the community lead for your country.
Interface language
The interface exists in French, English, Dutch, German, Spanish and Italian. It appears in your language on arrival, following your browser preferences, and the choice can be changed at any time; it is saved on your account.
Practices stay in the language their author wrote them in, so the detail that makes them usable is kept intact. Each one states its language, which also works as a filter, and carries the markup that lets your browser translate it when you need it.
Reuse the data
The whole database can be exported as CSV or JSON, under a CC-BY 4.0 licence, with authors pseudonymised. Exports follow the search filters: you can extract one professional community, one impact category, one country, or everything.
