About

The Story

The ONE Planet ONE Chance® Reusable Cup System is owned and operated by Event Cup Solutions – one of the UK’s premier suppliers of reusable cups to the UK events & hospitality industry.

It is the UK’s only carbon-neutral reusable cup system, designed to solve the ‘problem’ of reusable cups at festivals, stadiums and large-scale events.

With wash centres around the country along with our own fleet of self-owned vehicles, we have the infrastructure capable of delivering a world-class reusable cup service.

We turn a potential negative into a very strong positive environmental proposition and solution. Our goal is to become an integral part of YOUR team.

And we’re very proud of the fact that the ONE Planet ONE Chance® Reusable Cup System was voted the WINNER of the Green Supplier & Innovation Award by industry professionals at Vision:2025 at The Showman’s Show 2021. Our director, John Reeves, is pictured in the centre, below. The ONE Planet ONE Chance® Reusable Cup System has also been shortlisted for the upcoming Festival Suppliers Awards 2022, in the Green Supplier category.
