Augsburg's new reusable cup: environmental awareness for every occasion!
Something is happening in the Augsburg district when it comes to environmental protection! The new “Augsburger-Land-Becher” project brings an innovative concept to life that not only aims to increase awareness of our leisure region, but also actively contributes to waste avoidance. The waste management company (AWB), in conjunction with economic development, has brought a reusable reusable cup onto the market, which is now available via the official web shop: www.augsburger-land-becher.eventmeile.de.
The idea behind this environmentally friendly cup is simple: single-use waste should be avoided and sustainable event formats should be promoted. District Administrator Martin Sailer emphasizes how important this step is for environmental protection and regional identity. The cup comes in two practical sizes, making it suitable for both large parties and children's events:
- 0,4-Liter-Becher: ideal für Vereins- und Dorffeste, Schulveranstaltungen und Märkte.
- 0,2-Liter-Becher: perfekt für Kinderfeste, Kita-Feiern und Familienevents.
Sustainability and funding opportunities
The Augsburger Land mug is not only sustainable, but also regionally influenced and is characterized by an attractive design that depicts silhouettes of the region. The smaller version of the cup comes with the charming district mascot “Zorro”. Another point that makes the offer attractive is the uncomplicated rental: the cups are issued, booked and returned by the event service provider “Eventmeile”. The cups are cleaned according to the highest environmental standards, and use is free of charge for the organizers during the special funding phase until the end of 2026, as long as an application is submitted after receipt of the invoice.
What place does the Augsburger Land occupy in the leisure jungle? It has long since established itself as an insider tip for nature lovers. Whether cycling along picturesque rivers, hiking through rolling hills, swimming in clear lakes or simply a relaxed picnic in nature - families and active nature lovers alike will get their money's worth here. The offering is varied and invites you to both small breaks and big experiences. On the website www.augsburger-land.de Those interested can find numerous tips and information.
Another trend in the area of reusable cups has been being tested in Berlin since March 10, 2025. In eight REWE stores in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, borrowed RECUP reusable cups can be returned via reverse vending machines. The aim is to make reusable products even easier and more attractive. One wonders whether such initiatives will soon find favor in the Augsburg region in order to further promote environmental protection.
The initiative surrounding the Augsburger Land cup is a step in the right direction. And the region shows that environmental protection is not only taken seriously, but can also be easily integrated into everyday life. This is an easy way to take home environmental protection!
