Making Reuse Easy for Every Event

Festivals and celebrations should create unforgettable moments — not mountains of rubbish. Yet UK festivals alone use more than 100 million disposable cups each year, most ending up in landfill or incineration.

Festival-Cup provides a smarter, more sustainable solution: reusable cup systems that dramatically cut waste, lower carbon emissions, and keep your event site cleaner, greener, and easier to manage.

Why Switch to Reusable Cups?

Reusable cups can be washed and reused hundreds of times — and recycled at the end of their life — meaning nothing is wasted. Festival-Cup offers flexible, tailored reuse systems suited for everything from small community fiestas to major multi-day festivals and stadium events.

How It Works — Step-by-Step

1 Choose Your Cups
Select from pint, half-pint, wine, cocktail, or coffee cups — either generic or fully branded to match your event theme.
2 Plan Your Scheme
We help you choose the best model — deposit or levy — based on your venue layout, expected crowd, and sustainability goals.
3 Serve & Collect
Drinks are served in reusable cups, and guests return them to clearly marked points to keep your site clean and cups in circulation.
4 Wash & Reuse
Cups are cleaned on-site or off-site to food-grade standards, ready to be reused again and again throughout your event.
5 Store or Recycle
We can store your cups safely for future events or recycle them through our closed-loop UK recycling system.

Unreturned cups generate revenue and significantly reduce litter

Option 2: Compulsory Levy Scheme

Ideal for smaller, family-friendly, and community events.

Guests receive a discount when reusing their cup
Simple, cashless, and quick for staff to manage
