Related Case Studies
August Hall
August Hall, originally built in the 1890s, is now a multidisciplinary event space with a 951-person capacity music hall, cocktail room, full kitchen, and three lanes of bowling. By switching to reusable TURN cups from 232,000 single-use cups, they expect to save nearly $30,000 annually.
The Fillmore
The Fillmore is a 1,199-person capacity music venue located in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California and, fittingly, where Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable avant-garde multimedia show took place. The Fillmore transitioned from using compostable plastic cups to using TURN reusable cups for an net annual savings of $1,400.
The Warfield
The Warfield, originally built in the 1920s, was a vaudeville and movie palace and became a 2,250-person capacity concert hall in 1979. In 2023, The Warfield successfully made the switch from single-use plastic and paper cups to reusable cups with a small sustainability fee generating yearly revenue.
