The e cup<\/h1>\n

Edgbaston Stadium understands how important sustainability is and works hard to make sure the products we use are responsibly\u00a0sourced whist reducing our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

For the 2016 season we have\u00a0decided to take the next step by introducing the e cup. This reusable plastic cup will replace all disposable cups at the Stadium and will prevent thousands of plastic disposable cups going into landfill.<\/p>\n

Green-Goblet, who supply the e cup, are bowled that we are going to make our pint greener, and with the help of our\u00a0fans, are going to be able to reduce the volume of waste at the Stadium and lower our\u00a0carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

<\/p> Craig Flindall, Director of Edgbaston Experinace <\/cite><\/blockquote>Edgbaston is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our Match days .[\/quote] Craig Flindall, Director of Edgbaston Experience said \u201cEdgbaston is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our Match days and the introduction of the e cup will substantially reduce the amount of landfill\u00a0waste we generate on our big days.\u00a0 Spectators will be able to use the new e cups at the first NatWest T20 Blast game versus Worcestershire Rapids on 27 May, following which we will roll the scheme out across the rest of T20 season and international fixtures\u201d.<\/p>\n

How the e cup works<\/h2>\n

Matchday spectators will pay a \u00a31 deposit for their e cup with their first drink.\u00a0 Every subsequent drink will be poured into a clean e cup and when the spectator\u00a0has finished drinking, they can either keep the e cup as a souvenir or return it to an e cup refund point in exchange for their deposit.<\/p>\n

The e cups can be reused many times over and then at the end of their life they are recycled into other useful objects.<\/p>\n
