Reusable cups are increasingly being used as a sustainable alternative and as a communication tool. But not every print method is the same. For example, screen printing is ideal for simple designs and large quantities, thanks to its high durability. Digital printing offers full-colour freedom and is perfect for small quantities or detailed designs. For round or tricky shapes, pad printing is a compact solution. And then thereโ€™s IML printing (In-Mould Labelling): a technique in which the design is integrated directly into the material during production. The result is a razor-sharp, full-wrap print that doesnโ€™t wear off and is perfect for intensive use.

Each technique has its own applications, costs, and benefits. We would love to explain exactly which print method suits best for your design, quantity, and use case. For more information, feel free to contact us.

Without washing, there is no reuse. At Rubbish Reusables, we donโ€™t see the washing process as an afterthought, but as the core of our system. Professional cleaning ensures that reusable cups can be safely and hygienically used time and again, without compromising on quality or cleanliness.

You can choose to have the cups collected after each use, professionally cleaned in specialised washing facilities, and then prepared for reuse. This applies to small hospitality venues as well as large festivals or city-wide events.

Reusable cups are a smart and sustainable alternative to single-use items, but every part of the system needs to be right. We provide that foundation: professional cleaning, reliable logistics, and smooth redeployment. In this way, we make reuse not only possible but also effortless.

Anyone attending a festival these days will increasingly find their drink served in a sturdy, reusable cup. But how the deposit system works can vary greatly from one event to another. Some use tokens, others rely on digital deposits, and sometimes you simply pay a surcharge without getting anything back. This can be confusing for visitors and raises the question: which system works best?

In our blog, we discuss five commonly used models:
- The traditional token system
- Deposit with partial or full refund
- Cup surcharge with no refund
- Digital deposit systems
- Donating cups to charity

Each model has its own pros and cons. The key to success? Clear communication and a user-friendly system that encourages reuse.

On the 6th of March, the Dutch House of Representatives passed a motion to abolish the planned โ‚ฌ0.25 levy on single-use plastic. The measure, intended to combat plastic pollution, was set to take effect in 2026, but faced strong criticism: too burdensome for consumers, too little impact on littering.
But what if this isnโ€™t a step back, but rather a step forward?

The focus is now shifting to structural solutions: circular systems, reusable packaging, and innovations that go beyond merely treating symptoms. Because real change doesnโ€™t start with the end user, but with the supply chain behind them.

This motion creates space for entrepreneurs, organisers, and suppliers to make a difference themselves. Thereโ€™s no need to wait for legislation. The solutions are already here. The time to act is now.

Sustainability is essential within the events industry. Visitors expect not only an unforgettable experience, but also environmentally friendly solutions. A smart innovation? Reusable cups with RFID technology. RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) uses radio waves to exchange information between a chip in the cup and a scanner.

With RFID, organisers can track how many cups are issued and returned. This prevents loss, optimises stock management, and speeds up the deposit return process. It also allows for more efficient use of staff and resources, which not only saves costs but also reduces the ecological footprint.

In addition, RFID provides insights into cup usage. How many remain in circulation? When are they most frequently returned? This data helps events with logistical optimisation and sustainability goals. With these insights, organisers can recognise patterns and make better decisions around waste management and circular solutions.

More and more events are reducing waste and saving costs through RFID. Smart management encourages reuse and creates a circular system in which less plastic ends up in the waste stream. This not only contributes to a cleaner event site but also to a more sustainable future for the entire sector.

Rubbish Reusables helps events transition to a sustainable cup system with RFID technology. Want less waste, lower costs, and a better visitor experience? Letโ€™s work together! You can find the link to the full blog in the comments.

Say hello to SMART Cups by Rubbish Reusables, the innovative solution designed to make the reusable cup process more efficient while elevating the overall visitor experience.

Itโ€™s simple. When a visitor buys a drink, the cup is placed on a scanning pad, and their credit or debit card is automatically linked to the RFID chip inside the cup.

Once theyโ€™re done enjoying their drink, they can easily drop the cup into one of the smart bins located around the venue. The bin automatically scans the RFID chip and refunds the deposit, no hassle.

This system guarantees a waste-free environment and ensures a seamless, enjoyable experience for every visitor. There are no queues to return the cups and no complications with getting the deposit back.

All data collected will be available through our Rubbish Portal. With this, youโ€™ll receive notifications when bins are nearing capacity, when stock levels are low, and you will get data about crowd management insights. Additionally, youโ€™ll have access to carbon emissions measurements for your venue, helping you track your sustainability efforts.

How do you ensure that events truly become more sustainable? Through collaboration, testing, and data-driven insights. Thatโ€™s why we at Rubbish Reusables were proud to take part in the In Residence programme by the municipality of Amsterdam. This programme enabled us to apply our Rubbish Portal at large scale events such as the Bevrijdingsfestival and Pride Amsterdam.

What we discovered:
- Many events need support in generating sustainability insights.
- Our tool provides valuable insights to improve policy and ex*****on.
- Municipalities and organisers recognise the added value of data in strengthening circular initiatives.

And the best part? Our collaboration was rated as a success:

"I believe we worked together very well. Our meetings were structured, and we kept each other well informed. You operate independently, engage directly with suppliers and waste processors, and thatโ€™s great to see." Mark Stoevelaar

The future?
Helping more municipalities and events with data-driven sustainability. Because only together can we make the events industry truly circular.

From 17 to 22 March, the Netherlands is all about circularity. A time to focus on reducing waste, reusing materials, and designing smarter systems for a sustainable future.

The transition to a circular economy is more urgent than ever. Every year, vast amounts of valuable resources are lost due to a linear 'take-make-waste' approach. By rethinking how we produce and consume, we can reduce waste, cut emissions, and create a more resilient economy.

Businesses, policymakers, and individuals all have a role to play. Whether it's through better product design, improved recycling infrastructure, or shifting towards reusable solutions, every step counts.

Letโ€™s use this week to inspire action and accelerate the shift towards a truly circular economy. Small changes lead to big impacts!

The CSRD directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires companies to map out their impact on people and the environment. This directive is also increasingly affecting the event industry. Even if your company is not required to report, customers, partners, investors, and insurers still demand transparency.

The problem? Collecting the right data takes time, money, and effort. But what if there was a smart, efficient way to do this?

At Rubbish Reusables, we help businesses and events gain insight into their COโ‚‚ emissions and environmental impact with the Rubbish Portal. No endless spreadsheets or manual data collection, but a user-friendly tool that instantly provides insight into your organizationโ€™s impact.

- Control over sustainability without administrative hassle
- Easily comply with CSRD and customer requests
- Turn sustainability into a competitive advantage

More and more municipalities, including the municipality of Venlo, are choosing a reusable cup system. A smart move, as it not only enhances the drinking experience for visitors but also contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

No more plastic cups littering the streets, just people enjoying carefree celebrations together. A small change, a big impact!
