Eco Cups will be available again at this year's Electric Picnic. The Eco Cup system is an environmentally friendly cup system developed in Germany. The system replaces pint-sized plastic or paper cups with polypropylene hard plastic cups which can be used over 100 times before being fully recycled. Compared to alternative cups which are produced then disposed or recycled after one use, Eco Cups offer the minimum impact on the environment. There are a small number of special commemorative Electric Picnic pint cups - if you are lucky enough to receive one please feel free to keep. Next year if you wish we can exchange it for a brand new one.

How The Eco Cup System Works:

  • Customers purchasing a pint-sized drink at any of the bars pay a €3 deposit for the Eco-Cup on top of the drink cost for only their first drink.
  • When buying further drinks the customer exchanges their old cup for a new one at no extra cost.
  • At the end of the evening people have a choice of either a full refund or taking the cup home with them.

Benefits include:

  • Vastly reduced litter on-site as all cups are returned or purchased.
  • No cups going to landfill – saving the cost of disposing or recycling cups.
