Carnival cups that come back
Mission Reuse, a coalition coordinated by Fair Resource Foundation, built a shared knowledge network with Noord-Brabant province to facilitate reusable cup systems during carnival: one of the highest-waste events in the Dutch calendar. The network connects municipalities, carnival associations, and cup-washing services, so every participating town can access a shared reuse infrastructure rather than buying into it individually.
Where
- Noord-Brabant province, Netherlands (carnival route municipalities); approximate pin at regional centre
How to participate
- Carnival associations in Noord-Brabant: contact Fair Resource Foundation to join the Mission Reuse network and access the shared cup logistics
- Municipalities: ask your carnival organising committee whether they are connected to the Mission Reuse knowledge network
- Visitors to carnival: return your reusable cup at designated collection points
