How the Sydney Opera House achieved impressive trials results in reducing single-use cup waste during Vivid Live 2024, paving the way for sustainable event practices.
The Sydney Opera House (SOH) partnered with Bettercup to trial a reusable
cup system during selected events at Vivid LIVE in May 2024.
The key driverbehind this initiative is to reduce the environmental impact of single-use
cup waste, aligning with the Sydney Opera House's broader sustainability
and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments.
Overall, the reusable cup trial yielded exceptional results, setting a new benchmark for the Sydney Opera House.
The trial demonstrated high return rates, significant reduction in single-use waste, and overwhelmingly positive
feedback from patrons. These outcomes underscore the potential for ongoing implementation of a reusable
cup system and set a strong precedent for future sustainability and reusable cup initiatives
