Venues Wellington

From the ballet to conferences to drum and bass gigs, this system is built to serve every audience.

Venues Wellington - the home of Wellington’s iconic performance and event spaces, including the Opera House, St James Theatre, Michael Fowler Centre, and TSB Arena - has taken bold steps to remove single use. Partnering with FillGood, they’ve rolled out a permanent, fully integrated reusable cup system to replace single-use plastic cups at every event following a successful pilot in 2024.

This isn’t just a trial anymore - it’s a system-wide shift.

What We Provide

  • A fleet of reusable cup stock scaled to each venue’s capacity

  • Permanent return stations embedded across all sites

  • Custom signage and integrated public-facing communications

  • Scheduled restocks and post-event pickups

  • Onboarding and ongoing support for bar staff and front-of-house teams
