The solution
14,000 disposable cups replaced
When Pokémon GO Fest 2026 took place at Fælledparken in Copenhagen, the festival attracted 60,000 visitors from all over the world for three days filled with gaming, community and experiences in the city’s green surroundings. As part of the festival’s focus on creating a more sustainable event, the organisers chose to reduce the amount of single-use packaging at the food and drink outlets. As a result, 14,000 reusable cups were put into use at the festival site.
International festival
Pokémon GO Fest is one of the world’s largest community events in the mobile gaming sector and brings people together across age groups, nationalities and backgrounds through shared experiences in public spaces. With tens of thousands of participants over just a few days, even small changes to operations can have a significant impact on resource consumption.
A common infrastructure for recycling
The return scheme is an open deposit system for reusable cups. When you buy your coffee, you pay a deposit for the cup. After use, the cup can be returned to one of our many return boxes, which are located throughout the city – and the deposit is refunded immediately.
