This first Roundtable involved Merivale, Australian Festival Association, Moshtix, Green Music Australia, Taronga Zoo and the Sydney Convention Centre.

 

The purpose was to discuss the opportunities for stadiums, festivals and large events and venues to switch to reusable cups and containers. The switch to reuse can reduce costs, GHG emissions and plastic waste. Future roundtables are planned to build momentum and develop reuse solutions for interested venues and events.

 

The NSW EPA see reuse as an important part of the draft NSW Plastics: The Way Forward agenda.

 

With reuse at stadiums and events becoming standard practice in many parts of the world, the Boomerang Alliance is calling on other Australian Governments to support the switch to reuse.

 

We have produced a Guide for Stadiums, Festivals, Events and other Controlled Places to outline options for reuse and companies who can provide those services.

 

There are a number of good images in the guide  or let me know about others
