At FRINGE WORLD, we love a big night out. Big laughs. Big acts. Big vibes.
 What we don’t love? Big piles of single-use plastic heading straight to landfill. Enter: reusable cups. The unsung heroes of your festival drink.

Back by popular demand and powered by our clever friends at bettercup, the system is simple, effective, and planet friendly. The cup you drink from today could be the same cup someone else drinks from tomorrow (after a very thorough wash, promise).

Step 1: Grab your first drink and pay a small $1 cup charge. This keeps the cups flowing through the system.

Step 2: Sip, savour, and enjoy your drink (responsibly, of course).

Step 3: When you’re done, drop your cup in one of the dedicated return bins. Not the general waste, not your bag, and definitely not your kitchen cupboard.

Step 4: Feel quietly smug. Your cup gets washed, reused, and back in action for the next thirsty festival-goer.

Last year, Fringe-goers smashed it. We hit an 84% return rate, saving more than 124,000 single-use cups and keeping 372kg of plastic out of landfill.

The result? Cleaner festival grounds, fewer overflowing bins, and one less thing for the planet to worry about while you focus on the important stuff, like choosing your next show. 

Drink up, return your cup, and cheers to doing good without even trying. ♻️🍹
