Bold Reuse is proud to announce a new partnership with Seattle Theatre Group (STG) to launch a new reusable cup program at the historic Paramount Theatre. The program will offer patrons a sustainable, improved beverage experience, with expanded infrastructure and additional operational support.
“Reducing single-use waste at our venues is a core priority and an important part of the patron experience,” said Nate Dwyer, Chief Operating Officer of Seattle Theatre Group. “We’re excited to continue this initiative with Bold Reuse. The program has always resonated with our guests, and we’re excited to take it even further.”
How It Works:
- Guests receive beverages in durable, reusable cups.
- Cups are returned to clearly marked bins throughout the venue after use.
- Bold Reuse collects, washes, and redistributes the cups locally for continued use.
This marks Bold Reuse’s first major partnership with a performing arts venue in Seattle, building on its proven track record with stadiums, universities, and large-scale events across the country.
“We’re excited to bring our reuse expertise to such an iconic venue,” said Jocelyn Quarrell, CEO at Bold Reuse. “Working alongside STG and Reuse Seattle, we’re making it easier than ever for arts venues to move away from single-use and toward a circular future.”
The program is supported by Reuse Seattle, a city-led initiative from Seattle Public Utilities that helps local venues, businesses, and events transition away from single-use waste.
“Reuse Seattle is about scaling practical, community-based solutions that reduce waste and help the environment,” said Andrew Lee, General Manager and CEO at Seattle Public Utilities. “We’re proud to support this partnership and build on the success of reuse throughout Seattle. We’re deeply committed to serving our communities.”
Together, STG, Bold Reuse, and Seattle Public Utilities are helping set a new standard for sustainability in the arts — one performance, and one reusable cup, at a time.
