Trials of alternatives to single use drinking cups are being evaluated at stadium venues in Brisbane, Townsville and on the Gold Coast to help protect Queensland’s great lifestyle.

Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the first innings of Stadiums Queensland’s reusable drink container trials was this weekend’s Brisbane Heat Big Bash games at The Gabba.

“We know enjoying a cold beer is a big part of the world-class event experience at a Queensland stadium, but we want it to also be sustainable,” Mr Hinchliffe three options including polypropylene plastic and aluminium cups, and canned beverages which can be used over and over again or recycled. “Up to 10,000 reusable cups will be served at The Gabba and Queensland Country Bank Stadium with spectators encouraged to return used containers to designated collection points inside the venue for offsite cleaning.

“The reusable drink container trial is part of the Palaszczuk Government’s ongoing commitment to protecting Queensland’s great lifestyle and our unique environment for future generations.

“The trial is about investigating a scalable and cost-effective system to deliver a reusable drink container solution that works for spectators, Queensland’s stadium venues, and the environment.

During May 2022, Stadiums Queensland called for tenders for trials of alternatives to single use drinking containers at stadium venues with Wise and WOSUP assessed as the most suitable and experienced options for the supply and cleaning of multi-use cups.

Reusable polypropylene plastic cups will be trailed at The Gabba for Sunday’s Big Bash match and aluminium cups at the Cowboys’ home games at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on 27 March and 7 April.
