CopoMais, the reusable cup system now helping Lisbon to conserve resources and reduce single-use packaging litter in the city, will be presented at the ENLU conference in Guimarães this September.
Summer in Lisbon means people hit the streets to enjoy food, drinks and culture. But this year, residents and visitors to the Bairro Alto district in Lisbon can quench their thirst with a new twist: CopoMais. CopoMais is Lisbon’s new reusable cup system, now being rolled out in Barrio Alto. This new system is designed to address the plastic packaging waste challenges of the Portuguese capital’s historic center.
Two new CopoMais return stations have been installed in Lisbon, one in Principe Real and one in Miradouro S. Pedro.
Lisbon launched its new city-wide reusable cup system, “CopoMais Lisboa.” The brand name “CopoMais” indicates that it is more than just a cup – it’s a part of system that enables circularity and makes reuse convenient, efficient and traceable. It is also a system that gives the user back the deposit paid when buying a beverage in one of the participating bars.
