Globelet offers a reusable cup system for festivals and other events. The cups are made from recycled polypropylene (#5) and manufactured onshore.
Globelet provides the following statistics on their reuse system:
- For a festival of 10,000 people, 15,000 reusable cups are required vs 50,000 single-use cups
- On average, 75% of cups get returned for reuse, 0.1% of cups are damaged (and then recycled into crates) and 0.8% are disposed of (but returned if waste management performed onsite). In comparison, all single-use cups are disposed of.
