Can single-use cups at festivals be sustainable?

Can single-use cups at festivals be sustainable?

A big topic regarding music festivals is their sustainability. A lot of people in one place, alcohol and entertainment do not increase the possibilities of reducing waste to a minimum. In recent years, deposited plastic cups have been appearing more and more at major festivals. However, the company Greiner Packaging Slušovice came up with the idea of how even single-use plastic cups can be sustainable. It tested the pilot project at the end of June in cooperation with Karpaty fest. The solution is simple: the used PET cups are collected and later turned into cups again (rPET). In the presentation, you will learn why the so-called closed-loop solution should find its place at the Czech festival scene and more.
