The environmental impacts of reusable hard cup systems versus other systems is much discussed.  This study was undertaken by AGF, on behalf of sustainable nightlife consultancy, ecodisco examines the environmental impacts of beverage cups across their value chain. 

The main goal of this report is to identify what are the most impactful variables (regarding the GHG emissions) for a generic hard reusable cup freely available on the market by analysing the whole hard reusable cup system carbon footprint to provide service to 5 different venues. Carbon analysis of the life cycle of a generic cup has been firstly calculated to create the baseline measurement to understand the carbon impact of every phase of the cup system.

The scope of the study helped inform ecodisco to choose the most ecological solution for their operations.
