Socio-economic Assessment of the Introduction of Reusable Cups at Public Events and Beach Food Service Venues in Liepāja
The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of introducing a reusable cup system at public events and beach food service venues in Liepāja as part of the “Change(K)now!” project.
The study analysed the potential impact of the system on event organisers, the municipality, food service providers and consumers, as well as its economic, socio-economic and environmental benefits. A situational analysis and review of international good practices were conducted, and several scenarios for implementing a reusable cup system were developed and compared. A cost-benefit analysis was also carried out.
The study resulted in conclusions on the most promising models for implementing a reusable cup system and a practical guide for its introduction in Liepāja.
