Reusable Cups introduced at Scotstoun

Buying your drinks

When you buy your first drinks you will have the option to purchase a reusable cup for £1 per cup on your order.

Returning your cup

Each time you buy a drink thereafter, when you bring back your cup you will receive a new, clean reusable cup, and your old one will be sent for washing.

You can return the cups multiple times at the same game, or at the next match you attend. When returning your cup, you’ll only be charged for the price of your drinks not another £1.

Making a difference

As well as reducing single-use plastic, through this re-useable cup scheme a donation will be made to the Fighting for our Families campaign for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity at the end of the 2024/25 season. This will be a portion of proceeds generated by cup sales, with the remainder of the cost covering the washing and replacing of cups.

Please note: re-useable cups will only be served at main and north stand kiosks and the container bar in the East Stand Fan Zone. Decanting is still in place across the stadium and all drinks must be served in open cups.

Do I get to keep my cup?

Yes, once you’ve purchased your cups can take them home with you. Alternatively, if you simply wish to return the cup, there will be purple bins located throughout the stadium that cups can be dropped in and returned for washing.

Is the £1 refundable?

No, even when returned to the purple bins.

Can I choose my cup design?

You are welcome to ask your server for a specific cup, and they will oblige if they can, however this is not guaranteed and is dependent on availability.

How are they re-useable?

These cups are made from 100% polypropylene, a hard wearing plastic that can be washed up to 500 times.

What is the process for re-using a cup?

At the end of a match day, you can take your cup home with you, and bring it back for the next game or you can place it in one of the purple bins at the stadium exits when you leave.

Are these cups just for alcoholic drinks?

No, all drinks can be served in the re-usable cups.

Can I just buy a cup?

Yes, you are welcome to just ask for a cup and this will be charged at £1 per cup.

Can I bring my cup back with me and be assured that it won’t be taken off me at the turnstiles?

You can bring your cup back with you, but it must be empty when arriving at the stadium.

Are the cups dishwasher friendly?

Yes

What is the £1 fee for?

At the end of the season Elior will donate to the Club’s Fighting for our Families campaign for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. This will be a portion of the total proceeds, with the remainder used for cup maintenance.

What if I don’t want a cup?

Everyone has the option to opt-out of the re-usable cup scheme and can ask for their drink to be served in a vegware cup, as has been standard at Scotstoun Stadium.
