bettercup.

bettercup. The better reusable cup system. We're the experts at eliminating single-use plastic from event waste streams.

Founded by two friends in Melbourne who over the past few years have become increasingly conscious of the economic, social and environmental impacts of what they consume. As regular event and music festival goers, the large volumes of unnecessary waste didn't go unnoticed, or the fact that certain wastes such as single-use disposable cups could realistically be preventable. This led to the thought

, "There must be a better way!" and after researching alternatives and designing the necessary systems, the decision was made to create bettercup. Bettercup is dedicated to creating fun and simple environmental solutions that reduce unnecessary waste. We provide:

- Reusable Event Cups
- Washing and Drying Solutions
- Implementation Consulting
- Collection and Storage
- Onsite Management
- Post-Event Reuse Reports

We are back at The Little Food Market, and this year it's bigger than EVER! 😱⭐

With the addition of Sydney and a second Melbourne market this November, even more food lovers will be sampling the delicious, locally made drinks in reusable cups!

The Little Food Market shows how reuse can be done at scale by:
✨ Placing high visibility signage for cup returns around the site.
🚪 Event staff stationed at every exit to remind patrons to return their cups.
🗑️ "No Reusable Cups Please" signage on general waste & recycling bins.
♻️ Sorting recycling bins so reusable cups can be recovered and returned to the system.

These small steps make a big difference in keeping cups in circulation and eliminating single-use waste.

A huge thank you to the team for continuing to champion reuse! 🧡

🎭 These reusable cups have run away and joined the circus!

Cirque Du Soleil’s show KOOZA is touring nationally, with a month left in Melbourne before moving on to Brisbane and Sydney!

Bettercup is proud to support Cirque’s commitment to sustainability with these custom printed reusable tasters and tumblers that will be travelling the country with the show, reducing single use plastic with every drink poured.

The practicality of reuse meets the magic of Cirque!

Back in January, we completed our biggest washing operation yet for the Australian Open.

Now we’ve got the case study for you!

Five cup designs, thousands of betterdishes and an off site wash hub running at scale with capacity to spare.

This showed that our wash hub had the capacity to handle 750,000+ cups. That's Wimbledon scale. 👌

This amazing effort was possible thanks to the collaboration with Green My Plate, with their on site team managing collections, sorting, redistribution of clean dishes and more.

Delivering reuse at festival scale is never just about the cups - it’s about the system, the partners, and the people who return them! 🧡

We’re proud to be the reusable cup partner for FRINGE WORLD and to support a program that keeps thousands of single-use items out of the waste stream each season 🎡✨

It’s great to see the initiative and its impact highlighted here, along with how the reuse model works on the ground.

If you’re interested in what a large-scale reuse system looks like in practice, this is a great read!
