Belfast’s major and grassroots venues are embarking on a pioneering initiative to eradicate single-use plastic cups, introducing reusable alternatives as part of a 12-month pilot program. Key venues such as SSE Arena and Waterfront Hall will lead the charge, with the SSE Arena expected to roll out the reusable cups in mid-January. Stakeholders, including venue executives, emphasize the initiative’s dual focus on sustainability and safety, aiming to eliminate two million single-use cups annually while promoting environmentally friendly practices in Northern Ireland’s entertainment sector.
