COVENTRY Building Society Arena has a new deal with a local packaging supplier to help serve hot drinks more sustainably.
The arena is working with Purple Planet Packaging who will supply 200,000 12 oz cups for hot drinks at the venue.
On estimate the venue uses more than 800,000 cups over the course of a year.
The new cups will feature the arenas branding and are available for hot drinks at outlets during football matches, conferences, exhibitions and entertainment events.
The Arena will be working with its waste management partner Go Green to recycle all of the new plastic-lined cups for hot drinks.
Tom Davies, head of supply and sustainability at Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “We are committed to working with local suppliers such as Purple Planet Packaging, which helps us to continue reducing our emissions and carbon footprint as a venue, while also contributing positively to the local economy.”
Mark Farr, of Purple Planet Packaging said: “This deal marks a huge step in our growth and as a proud Coventry company we are delighted to be working with Coventry Building Society Arena.
“By working with our established network of manufacturers we are able to provide a custom branded product for the Arena, which is also sustainable and able to be recycled.”
