Once all these criteria are taken into account, the reusable cup wins. Not because it emits less CO2 at the time of its manufacture but because it consumes less plastic by being reused thanks, for example, to a deposit system.
It is even more ecological if it is washed on site with renewable energies. Regardless of the size of the event.
The impact of cups on an event is extremely low
A measure that must be put in context according to our expert. “The impact of cups on an event is extremely low. It is not at all one of the main CO2 emitting elements. It is very far behind transport (of participants, editor’s note) and very far behind the consumption of food .”
And to take the example of a festival-goer. “If you consume a liter of beer in cups, the contents impact the carbon footprint 8% more than the container. So it is important to reduce emissions linked to cups but it is even more important to work on other levers.” This is what Tapio demonstrated for Tomorowland for example.
