Reusable eCups

We are going green at this year’s event – Say goodbye to single-use cups! 

This year, we’re making our event more sustainable by introducing reusable eCups. 

  1. Purchase an empty eCup for $5 at one of the two sales tents (northern or southern entry).
  2. Bring your eCup to any vendor when buying a drink.
  3. Reuse the same cup throughout the event or swap it for a fresh one with each purchase.
  4. Take your eCup home at the end of the night. 
  5. Reuse at next year's event.

Important: Vendors do not sell eCups. Grab yours before heading to your favourite drink stall.

Where are eCup Reusable Cups made?

What are eCup Reusable Cups made from?
eCups are made from High grade food quality Virgin Polypropylene (#5) or 100% OBP #5 (Ocen Bound Plastic reclaimed from over 200 beaches and waterways). Polypropylene is a polymer plastic that is a member of the 'polyolefin' (polymers produced from alkenes) family.

It is a highly versatile and rugged material that has many beneficial physical properties, and most importantly it is also recyclable. We chose these plastic types because of their durable qualities which make them perfect for reuse.
