From stadiums to museums, festivals to airlines, r.World is making reuse the new standard! 🚀 Our reusables replace single-use waste in venues big & small, staying in play for hundreds of cycles. A cleaner, greener future starts here ⬇️ #ReuseRevolution
A clear theme we’re hearing (most recently at GreenBiz26): sustainability leadership is getting more honest about what actually works.
Plastic production keeps growing. Recycling was never built to keep up. This article from The Guardian helps explain the gap.
www.theguardian.com/environment/...
r.World’s Michael Martin led a powerful roundtable on how scaling reuse infrastructure impacts corporate operations, supply chains, and partnerships.
GreenBiz was a reminder that sustainability moves in waves. Many leaders see the next upswing coming around 2027. Now is the moment to build.
As GreenBiz 26 came to a close, one thing stood out: sustainability leadership isn’t pulling back — it’s recalibrating and getting ready for what’s next.
We were proud to serve as the Exclusive Reuse Provider at #GreenBiz26, showing reuse as real, working infrastructure.
"There’s no such thing as ‘away’.”
In a recent “Prominent People in Packaging” interview, r.World’s Michael Martin explains why many well-intentioned packaging solutions fall short and ultimately becomes waste.

Some things aren’t meant to be one-and-done.
Thanks to our incredible community, reuse is a long-term relationship - and it’s working.
Happy Valentine’s Day from r.World!
For anyone asking what works at large events:
Upstream’s “Reuse Wins at Events” report breaks down why reuse consistently delivers the best environmental and operational outcomes in high-volume settings.

#Reuse #CircularEconomy #GreenSports
Here’s what reuse at scale across sports actually looks like:
🏀🏒🎶 1.5M items diverted at Crypto Arena
🏈 100K+ cups diverted at Cal Berkeley football
⚾ First reuse program in MiLB at CHS Field
🏁 Racing. ⛳ Golf. And more.
The next era of green sports is being built now. Let’s team up.
As the Big Game approaches, we’re spotlighting a Big Win for reuse: 25 million single-use items diverted from landfills.
Sports arenas and stadiums are some of the toughest places to tackle waste - and increasingly, where reuse delivers its biggest wins.
#GreenSports #SportsSustainability
For reuse to succeed at scale, systems need to be designed for: ease of use, operational fit, execution support, and durability. There are also cost and revenue benefits to reuse.

What does it take for reuse to actually work at scale?
In a new Packaging World feature, our 20+M (now 23+M!) milestone shows reuse can be embedded into day-to-day operations and perform reliably across high-volume venues, sports and entertainment & campuses:

“It’s a practical, audience-friendly solution that makes a measurable difference.”
- Eric Shiflett, Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation
Deep gratitude to Eric and the full Santa Barbara Bowl team. Partnerships like this are how reuse moves from idea to infrastructure.
#CircularEconomy #LiveEvents
Since launching its r.World reuse program, Santa Barbara Bowl has eliminated about HALF A MILLION single-use cups from its waste stream.
Proof that circular systems can work - at real concert scale, over multiple seasons.
#Reuse #Sustainability
Happy Holidays from r.World!
As 2025 comes to a close, we’re feeling grateful. This year, reuse moved from early momentum to everyday reality across venues, festivals, campuses, and communities nationwide.
Thank you to our partners, operators, and music & sports fans. 2026, here we come!
Across sports, music, campuses, and cities, reuse is becoming the default system for serving and returning food & beverages.
From wash hubs to return stations to operator training, reuse systems are now built to perform at scale.
#ReuseSystems #CircularInfrastructure #WastePrevention
A big signal for the reuse movement: Pew’s “Breaking the Plastic Wave 2025” report reinforces what real-world operators already know: reuse systems can reduce plastic pollution by up to 66%.
Full report: www.pew.org/en/research-...

85% of U.S. voters support expanding reusable packaging & foodware. More from Oceana: usa.oceana.org/reports/near...
The Senate passed the REUSE Act of 2025, calling for an EPA report on reuse systems.
r.World contributed input during development, proof real-world reuse is informing national policy.
Bipartisan support. Voters want reuse. Now it’s the House’s turn.

As r.World CEO Michael Martin told Billboard: “When we launched the reuse movement in 2017, no one was doing reuse. Now NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, MLB and college stadiums are implementing it.”
Thanks Billboard + Katie Bain for spotlighting reuse, and to our trailblazing partners leading the way. #Reuse
Billboard just covered r.World’s 20 million milestone! We’ve prevented 110 tons of plastic, cut 440 tons CO₂, saved 1.65M kWh & 5M gallons water.

This Halloween, the scariest thing is single-use waste that never dies.
Plastic Bags: 20+ yrs
Aluminum Cups: 100+ yrs
Plastic Straws: 200+ yrs
Plastic Cups: 450+ yrs
Compostable Cups: Hundreds of yrs
Let’s change that together by choosing reuse. Because the only thing scarier is doing nothing.
Cal made history as the first U.S. football stadium to go all-in on reuse, diverting 50K+ single-use cups from landfills (and counting).
Big thanks to UC Berkeley, Cal Zero Waste, Pepsi, Levy, First Choice, and fans for leading the way!
#GoBears #ReuseRevolution #CircularEconomy
🏈 At UC Berkeley’s recent ACC Zero Waste football competition, Cal showcased environmental leadership, innovation, and school pride — with reuse taking center stage. 💛💙 #GoBears #ReuseRevolution #GreenSports
ICYMI! Big news for reuse!
Big thanks to ReuseMN for hosting #REUSE25!
Upstream’s Sydney Harris & r.World’s Mac Sellars shared how MN’s new EPR law could transform packaging & waste systems, and why it’s a big opportunity for reuse.
Proud to see our home state leading the circular economy! #EPR #Reuse
Reuse isn’t theory anymore - it’s working.
💰 Up to 50% waste-cost savings
🔁 90%+ return rates
🙌 85% of Americans want reuse
From stadiums to festivals to hotels, it’s gone from pilot → proof.
Happy #NationalReuseDay!
#rWorld #CircularEconomy #ReuseRevolution
🚨 Breaking Reuse News: r.World & our partners just stopped 20 million single-use cups + foodware items from landfill.
That’s 120+ tons of plastic never produced - real proof that reuse works at scale.
