Details: The Motorpoint Arena was the
first UK entertainment and sports venue to
introduce reusable cups, leading the way
to eliminating single-use cups. It hosts a
wide range of events from ice hockey to live
music and adapts its layout for every event
it holds.
Operating the reusable eco cups on a
£1.00 deposit scheme, the arena offers a
variety of cups sizes and different designs.
These include elite ice hockey league
team The Nottingham Panthers as
well as generic Motorpoint branding
such as Christmas and Halloween
designs. Hospitality cups are branded
differently as no deposit is charged
on them.
By switching over to reusable
cups, Motorpoint Arena has saved
hundreds of thousands of singleuse
cups going into landfill. Instead,
the reusable cups are supplied and
washed by Green Goblet at one of
their wash stations, using the latest
most environmentally friendly washer/
dryer machines.
Since December 2017, when they first
started operating the reusable cup scheme,
other stadiums and arenas have followed
suit. Green Goblet now supplies reusable
cups and tableware to venues up and down
the country and is helping organisations
to lower their carbon footprint, as well as
giving their attendees a better drinking
experience.
The great news is that Motorpoint Arena
uses its reusable cups hundreds of times
over, and at the end of their life they are
recycled into useful objects such as ice
scrapers or coat hangers. #Refill Not Landfill.
Customer feedback: Commercial director
Phillip Jones said: “Motorpoint Arena
is proud of the fact that we have saved
hundreds of thousands of cups from
going into landfill over the years by using
reusable cups throughout our venue. Saving
the planet should be at the core of every
organisation.”
