The headline says it all! Thank you Pollstar for the feature story putting the spotlight on reuse and r.World | Reuse! “Part of the reason we exist is because, at live events, recycling is challenging. Everything gets commingled, and as a result, that waste has to go to landfill. Compost or bioplastic cups don’t work at live events either because of the same problem of contamination. The only way those work is if they’re hand-sorted and taken to an industrial composting facility, and that very rarely happens. If you want to do what’s right for the environment, the best thing is reuse.” - Michael Martin, Founder & CEO r.World | Reuse The movement is strong across the music industry, and is inspiring many others into action. We're proud to be part of it. #reuse #sustainability #solution #impact Read more:

The most sustainable, most trusted, most scalable solution for reusable cups and serveware: r.Cup | r.Ware | r.Turn
About us
We believe in a future without mountains of garbage and oceans of trash, so we’re changing the way the world uses cups, clamshells, and serveware. No more single-use products at venues, live events, arenas, stadiums, or restaurants. It’s time to switch to reusable r.Cups and r.Ware from r.World. WHY REUSE? Recycling and composting aren’t working. Plastic is barely recycled at all. Making and recycling single-use aluminum is a toxic drain on our scarce resources. And most compostable trash never gets composted. The best way to end single-use waste is reuse, and r.World makes it easy. SAY YES TO THE MOST GOOD. -THE MOST SUSTAINABLE r.Cups and r.Ware have the lowest possible carbon footprint at every step of the process—better than composting, recycling, and any other reusables. -THE MOST EASY r.World makes reuse effortless for your operations. You get hands-on support, easy ordering on the r.Turn™ app, and everything you need to ensure high return rates. -THE MOST ROI Venues and concessionaires that implement our no-risk funding model typically see per-head sales go up, while housekeeping costs and waste-hauling fees go down. -THE MOST ROBUST We serve businesses and crowds of every size—from 300 to three million—and we’re equipped to support whatever you need. We were the first large-scale reuse company in the U.S. and we’ve been tested and proven in every kind of venue and food service operation, with the most advanced reuse platform available. -THE MOST COMMITTED TO YOUR COMMUNITY We’re locally invested and fully committed to providing second-chance employment opportunities, building in development zones (whenever possible), and providing wash services for other reuse efforts in town. -THE MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT SOLVING THE SINGLE-USE CRISIS We’re building the reuse infrastructure today that will shape the world tomorrow. If you're looking for the smartest way to eliminate waste, you’ve found it. Switch to r.World’s reusable r.Cup and r.Ware solutions today.

Thank you Billboard for this in-depth look at reuse, what's needed for reuse at scale, and how our "ugly" cup is helping solve the world's single-use plastic waste problem! From our Founder & CEO, Michael Martin: r.World | Reuse is "aiming to build the infrastructure for a national reuse economy that would extend to airlines, consumer packaged goods, restaurants and more, ultimately becoming a one-stop national solution. The music industry has essentially launched and is leading the reuse movement in the country, and it’s inspiring universities, corporate campuses, quick-service restaurants and others.” #reuse #sustainability #innovation #solution #infrastructure Read more:

We had a great time at the GSA Summit in LA! Thank you Green Sports Alliance and AEG for hosting. It was exciting to be surrounded by so many sports industry folks committed to sustainability and change! The key takeaway: Reuse was the buzz throughout the summit, from the league level to venue level. Many stadiums are already doing it, and others are talking about WHEN, not IF, they will implement reuse. Other highlights include: - r.World | Reuse founder & CEO Michael Martin helped introduce the “GSA Reuse Playbook” - a gamechanger in sports sustainability! And our CRO Tina Swanson shone on the reuse panel. Download the Playbook here: https://lnkd.in/e5WFfsWb - The summit was 100% committed to reuse, using r.World | Reuse reusables for all food and drinks, providing the perfect setting to educate key players that research shows all single-use options are worse for the environment than reuse. - We showed reuse is easy to implement. Shout out to industry leaders AEG, ASM Global, The Coca-Cola Company and Levy Restaurants for the collaboration and smooth integration throughout the summit. Such a cool and impactful way to show how reuse works, as seen at trailblazing venues Crypto.com Arena and Peacock Theater! - AEG’s Lee Zeidman received the well-deserved Environmental Leadership Award from Green Sports Alliance. As President of Crypto.com Arena, Peacock Theater and L.A. Live, he’s had a longstanding commitment to sustainability innovations - including our partnership to replace all single-use cups at Crypto.com Arena + Peacock Theater with r.Cup. Read more about our partnership plans here: https://lnkd.in/gfkXcEa4 - AI had a strong showing, with Intuitive AI showcasing its Oscar Sort waste management platform featuring our reuse bin alongside compost and recycling bins. This is what the future of waste management looks like! In summary: Reuse is taking over sports, and happening fast. Now’s the time to take action. Let’s continue working together to drive industry change! #24GSASummit #greensports #sportsindustry #reuse #sustainability #fasterfurther
