➍ Green Goblet
These guys are the UK leaders in
branded reusable cups for events.
A British company, Green Goblet
provides a range of non-breakable
vessels and can advise on how best
to promote the ‘refill not landfill’
message using either a returnable
or non-returnable deposit system.
Organisers can reduce waste,
increase revenue and promote
sponsors, or use the branding
opportunity for advertising. Green
Goblet offers a full in house and
mobile wash/dry service, artwork
design and storage. www.greengoblet.com
DropBucket
The idea is simplicity itself - a folded
corrugated cardboard bin that
is quick and easy to deploy. The
brainchild of two design graduates,
it won the heralded Red Dot: Best of
the Best design award in 2015. Made
from recycled material, and entirely
recyclable, stickers can be provided
➍
to help sort
rubbish (plastics,
food waste, paper
etc.) and help
keep event sites clean. Over 5,000
were used at the Roskilde Festival in
Denmark, and organisers report the
site has never been clearer. www.

➎ Get Me Connected
Wi-Fi connectivity for events of all
sizes and in the most challenging
locations! Get Me Connected uses
carbon-neutral self-powered systems
to bring internet services to events
even when there is no existing
connection or power supply. The
team brought the fun to the fair with
a superb replica of a festival set up
(made by the man behind models
used in early James Bond films), and
a truly addictive VR game showcasing
connectivity applications. www.getme-connected.com

behind London’s Party in the Park,

between panels, it is perfect for VIP
and hospitality areas.
