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

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!

1 week down, 2 go at Perth Fringe World Festival ! 🎡

It’s been a great start with nearly 2,500 cups washed and returned to the festival - that means 20kg of waste and 3 wheelie bins full already saved!

Perth Fringe World is dedicated to improving their reusables system each year and it shows 👏👏

Last year saw an impressive return rate of 84.7% over the 3 week event - you can check out the full stats in our 2025 case study in the comments below!

Perth Fringe World 2026 is back and so is bettercup! 🎪🧡

We are pumped to be working with the team again this year after the success of 2025.

Tim Slack, Fringe Operations Coordinator and keen cup correspondent, had this to say...

"For many moons, cups, whether small or large, have caused great grief for festivals and events alike. They break. They go missing. They melt in a hot dishwasher.

Not anymore. Not for FRINGE WORLD.

Bettercup, the better reusable cup company based out of Melbourne, have seamlessly integrated themselves into the great success that is FRINGE WORLD 25.

Reusable, stylish, durable and robust. Everything a patron wants when they take a refreshing glug to quench their thirst.

Their Australian-made cups have been a smash hit so far this festival. And there’s no better feeling than having a refreshing beverage AND helping to eliminate single use plastic at the same time.

I owe my heart to the Bettercup team, thank you for making the lives of those who focus so intently on cups, so much easier.”

Perth Fringe World’s dedication to reusables and improving their system is paying off, and we love to see it.

A little look inside Canva’s Christmas party and our reusable cups in action! ✨

We worked with The Event Room to support Canva’s Christmas celebration. Over 2,500 reusable cups were delivered within 24 hours, ready to be refilled and circulated throughout the event!

Here’s what the team had to say:

"Their efficiency, clear communication, and genuine willingness to help made the entire process completely seamless during a high-pressure moment. We couldn’t be more grateful for their support and would absolutely love to partner with Bettercup again. Thank you so much for saving the day!"

We’re proud to have been part of it and always love working with teams who want to do things more sustainably ⭐
