If you look into that type of cup further, you discover a few problems, it needs to get up to a certain temperature to start decomposing, and requires a specialist industrial composting facility to do that properly. Despite what it says it is a plastic cup, it is PLA, polylactic acid and is a...

Yes, I had seen that, but a cup that is nice looking so that supporters want to take it home, could stuff their targets. A plain cup would ensure most are returned, but then it becomes very expensive compared to single use cups.

To be honest, I don't know that it doesn't already to some degree, but this thread does reveal that there is confusion over which side of the bin to use if those are currently recycled. Sodexo have pledged to hit certain percentage recycling targets across the company as a whole, this should be...

Sodexo have a company called Simply Cups as a supplier now, they have specialist facilities for recycling these types of cup where they can separate the plastic element from the paper, so I am hopeful that the hot drinks cups will be recycled, still a single use though.

There are companies that will collect, take away, wash and return.

So far then no one seems to object to the principal of paying a deposit on a cup. Many of us have done this at other venues, it's just getting it to work at half times without adding delays.

OK forget my inability to wrestle a flimsy cup, it would be better not to discard so much plastic after just a single use of it's intended purpose. For me to use that cup for 20 minutes creates a piece of plastic that will take hundreds of years to decompose, is this a problem that needs...

I had a look at plastic compostable cups, what I discovered is they need specialist composting at high temperature with the right amount of other materials, they are a bit of a con really. In practice very few ever find their way to such a facility, and if they do they are generally transported...

Works for my pint, but my mate doesn't like me sipping his.

They don't have the no alcohol in sight of the pitch nonsense though.

You just collect them all during the match and wash them later, several days between matches usually so wouldn't be a problem, but you need the same amount of re usable cups as you would disposable ones for one match

Can't be trusted to not just drop them in the bin

problem with re using the same cup is that it would slow things down as you couldn't pre pour, and also hygiene in that the end of the beer tap usually goes into the top of the pint. Keeping the empty cup and taking it into the stadium would work for me, could cause a jam at the entrances to the...

I consume a reasonable amount of the amber stuff at most matches, but there are two things that irritate me about doing that, firstly, I never manage to get away from the bar without slopping a good mouthful on the floor due to the flimsy cup, and that the cup goes straight in the bin once I...
