Reusable glasses – a commendable initiative

Throughout the Festival, reusable, washable cups will be available to the public. Once you’ve finished your drink, simply return the cup to the bar to get your deposit back. The Orangerie team will take care of the washing-up and drying, and keeping the stands supplied with clean cups.

At the end of their useful life, the cups are melted and recycled. In terms of promoting sustainable development, you can be sure that this solution results in a considerable decrease in waste, while also providing jobs for people in rehabilitation. These reusable glasses do a lot of good – both for the environment and for social reintegration.
