In this day and age, countless members of society have taken initiatives in an effort to reduce the amount of waste we produce, with a heavy emphasis on non-biodegradable plastic waste.

Now, three of the most iconic music venues in Colorado will be implementing policies in order to help out the cause by replacing disposable beverage cups with reusable cups.

Three Iconic Colorado Music Venues Introducing Reusable Beverage Cups

The three venues that appear to be implementing the new reusable cups first include the Temple Buell Theater in downtown Denver, Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre in the Denver Tech Center, and the Centennial State's most iconic venue, Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

The company behind the cups, r.World, produces the r.Cups using extra durable polypropylene plastic and is responsible for collecting and sanitizing the cups before each venue uses them again.

However, in order for the system to operate correctly, concert-goers will need to do their part by returning the cups to the designated recycling bins following the show.

As of now, these r.Cups are being used for craft beers and non-alcoholic drinks at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre, and will soon be implemented at the Buell Theatre as well.

If you've ever been to a concert at Red Rocks or Fiddler's Green, you've likely also seen the massive amount of waste that is produced over the course of even just one show but the venues are hoping that these new cups will help curb the amount of the aforementioned plastic waste.
