Scholar Project: Bard on the Beach

Bard on the Beach has worked with Recycling Alternative for ten years. Through their waste audits, they identified a significant amount of plastic waste from wine and beer cups. They attempted to use compostable cups, but when they found out they can not actually be composted, they started looking for other options. In 2022, Recycling Alternative recommended ShareWares, leading to the festival's switch to ShareWare cups for wine and simply serving beer in their original cans, eliminating the need for single-use plastic cups. Case study begins on page 44.
