Bayer 04 to introduce reusable beakers in the new season

From the start of the 2019/20 season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen will only offer beer and alcohol free cold drinks from the kiosks at the BayArena in reusable beakers. There will be no more single use beakers. "We recognise our responsibility to further focus on sustainability and environmental awareness at our club. The switch from single to reusable beakers is just one measure on that path but an important one," explained Fernando Carro, chairman of the board.

In a thorough selection process, Bayer 04 worked with the caterers at the BayArena, Bayer Gastronomie GmbH, in analysing and discussing the different options. Criteria such as environmental balance and safety standards played a decisive role in the final decision. In the end, a beaker made of polypropylene was chosen – a reusable drinking vessel that can be cleaned up to 150 times.
