LEICESTER TIGERS AIMS TO REDUCE
PLASTIC USE AFTER SIGNING NEW
DEAL WITH STACK-CUP
Leicester Tigers has taken a big step in reducing
its plastic use a er agreeing a brand new
partnership with STACK-CUP - the eco-friendly
reusable and recyclable cup brand. Between
16,000 and 18,000 pints are sold at Welford Road
Stadium at each game.
Welford Road has been the home of the Leicester
Tigers since September 1892 and now has a
capacity of 25,849, making it the largest purposebuilt
club rugby ground in the UK.
As stocks of the pint and half pint cups will
be replenished on a regular basis, waste will be
significantly reduced. STACK-CUP also boasts
a unique globally patented handle design that
negates the need for cardboard trays or plastic
sleeves assisting with a zero to landfill target being
achieved.
Fans will be required to pay a £1 deposit on the
first cup of the day and then return with that cup, to
receive a clean one for each following drink. At the
end of each match, fans have the option to either
hand their cup back to a number of specific return
points and recoup their deposit, or take it home as
a souvenir.
A series of cups exclusive ranges are being
produced including a Leicester Tigers branded
version as well as player specific designs for diehard
fans.
The club recently announced that fans will be
able to benefit from cashless facilities around
the ground on matchdays designed to help
reduce queuing times alongside increased
security and faster checkout times. Supporters
will receive the £1 deposit back on their payment

THE FASTEST MOST ENERGY
EFFICIENT HEPA-FILTERED
HAND DRYER
Dyson has launched the Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer, the fastest most energy
e icient HEPA-filtered hand dryer. With a completely unique design and
cutting-edge technology, the Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer enables people
to dry their hands quickly and hygienically, while using low energy and
o ering an alternative to single-use paper towels.
The Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer machine has been over three years in
development, with more than 700 prototypes made. The result is the quietest
Dyson Airblade hand dryer yet, with fast hand drying in 10 seconds. Our motor
and airflow technology allow the new Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer to use up
to 87% less energy than warm air dryers in Eco mode, while producing up to
85% less carbon dioxide emissions per dry than paper towels.
Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer said: “At Dyson we believe hand drying should be
fast, hygienic and responsible in its energy use. We solved many of these
problems when we disrupted the industry with the launch of the first
Dyson Airblade™ in 2006. We continue to pioneer with the Dyson Airblade 9kJ –
our latest hand drying technology. From the acoustics to its design, everything
has been rethought to deliver the best performance without any compromise
on user experience or hygiene.”

Speaking about the agreement, Alec Brown
- Fundraising and Administration Manager at
Leicester Tigers - said: “As a club we are acutely
aware that we all need to be conscious of the
excessive use of plastic. The club is committed to a
number of ‘green’ initiatives at Welford Road and
Oval Park and this new deal with STACK-CUP is
another step forward on our sustainability journey.”
James Roles – Global MD of STACK-CUP - added:
"We are delighted that Leicester Tigers is now using
STACK-CUP. The need to reduce both plastic use and
waste has never been so important, so it’s fantastic
to see major clubs taking a lead and doing their bit
to tackle what is an environmental emergency.”
