The Project Green-Cup™ Model
We want to be your sustainability partner.
The pre-funded sustainability infrastructure platform for professional sports.
We are not product vendors. We operate strictly as a pre-funded infrastructure partner—absorbing 100% of the upfront manufacturing and capital payload.
Our utility-patented, dual-state collapsible silicone keepsake vessels and reusable straws are delivered directly to stadium channels for $0.00 from the organizational budget.
We replace single-use stadium waste with a high-margin Souvenir-Keep Model: custom, player-series, and sponsor-funded limited editions that fans carry home, extending brand exposure while venues retain significant commercial margins.
The Project Green-Cup advantage
Zero upfront venue spend. Premium fan keepsakes. A cleaner stadium. A revenue-generating sustainability loop.
Core technology
Patented dual-state engineering
Our platform operates on a single, utility-patented architecture designed to scale across any stadium footprint. The tall vessel serves at full matchday capacity; the compact vessel collapses into an accordion-folded, pocket-sized state.
This reduces seat-row clutter and safety hazards while creating a premium souvenir fans refuse to throw away.
Concourse operations
Zero-friction concession integration
Project Green-Cup™ stacks cleanly alongside standard serviceware at concourse pour stations and bars. Staff can serve draft beverage upgrades and fountain drink packages without changing standard venue speeds or operational timelines.
Premium retail economics
A premium $25 keepsake—with no upfront procurement risk
Concourse vessels arrive at zero upfront cost to the stadium budget. Our baseline company revenue line settles at $11.00 per unit. At an average retail price of $25.00, the organization retains the remaining premium profit margin.
Matchday theme nights
Sponsor-funded stadium activations
When a flagship corporate brand or healthcare network funds a Matchday Sustainability Theme Night, the package is underwritten upfront.
Using a hypothetical $50,000 package as a flexible example, the pool is split 50/50: $25,000 covers the raw manufacturing payload, while the venue partnerships desk retains $25,000 in sponsorship revenue. The team logo appears on one side, the sponsor on the other, and fans receive the keepsake free.
Team store merchandise
The limited-edition collectible engine
Custom retail packaging built around Player Series and high-demand Playoff editions creates an active collector engine inside stadium pro shops. These premium editions drive $14.00 to $15.00 in total program revenue, fueling an elevated contribution margin back into the venue ecosystem.
Retail store revenue
Pro shop margin retention
Custom-boxed Player Series cups generate high-margin team-store revenue independently of beverage concessions. The venue retains pricing control over the souvenir upsell across physical retail and team e-commerce channels.
Your team. Your cup. Your IP. Your colors.
Every Project Green-Cup™ program is created specifically for your organization. We translate your approved logos, color palette, player imagery, and sustainability positioning into a collection designed for your fans. You review and approve every design before it moves to our production house. From the first concept through manufacturing, we work alongside your team to ensure the final cup reflects your brand, your standards, and your sustainability story.
Built for every team. Designed in every language.
From professional teams across the United States to international clubs, Middle Eastern organizations, and sporting communities worldwide, Project Green-Cup™ creates each program for its specific audience. Cup artwork, player collections, sponsor messaging, retail packaging, and campaign materials can be produced in any desired language—or multiple languages—while respecting each organization’s identity, culture, and sustainability vision.

The outside keepsake loop
Permanent waste diversion
Fans proudly carry the co-branded keepsake home rather than discarding it on the concourse or in seating rows. This eliminates seasonal matchday waste volume, reduces post-event cleanup labor, and lowers facility maintenance overhead.
The household destination
The household destination: where fans take the reusable cup home
The matchday vessel becomes a lasting keepsake instead of stadium waste.
Once inside the home, Project Green-Cup™ becomes part of the fan’s everyday life—extending the venue, team, and sponsor story far beyond the final whistle. Every continued use creates another meaningful brand impression inside the household.
The hard truth
Carbon impact by material
Single-use aluminum

The problem
The single-use plastic base case
A standard disposable PET stadium cup accounts for approximately 330 grams (0.73 lbs) of carbon emissions from manufacturing through disposal, according to the cited comparison.
Across stadium networks, this waste stream also creates recurring seating-bowl cleanup labor, transportation requirements, and facility hauling costs.
View cited comparisonThe rigid return loop
Aluminum’s production and recovery burden
Aluminum refining is energy-intensive. The cited analysis states that initial production of a thin rigid aluminum cup can generate more than 60% greater greenhouse-gas emissions than a traditional plastic cup.
Under its highest-impact single-use or poorly cycled scenario, one aluminum vessel is associated with up to 1,300 grams (2.86 lbs) of CO₂e. The model further identifies approximately 50 successful reuse cycles as the carbon break-even threshold.
Open stadium environments introduce another challenge: when cups are discarded or leave the venue, replacement inventory, washing, collection, and transportation can prevent the intended return loop from reaching its modeled performance.
View cited analysisThe souvenir-keep solution
Project Green-Cup™ removes the return-loop burden
Our utility-patented, food-grade silicone architecture and Souvenir-Keep Model are designed to replace disposable plastic demand without requiring stadium collection, return trucking, centralized washing, or rigid aluminum replenishment cycles.
Project estimates attribute each customer interaction with 0.07 lbs of plastic waste diverted and 0.10 lbs (45.3 grams) of Scope 3 CO₂e mitigated at the source.

The Project Green-Cup™ youth sponsorship infrastructure
Sponsoring the future of youth soccer
Our mission extends directly from major league stadiums down to the local grassroots level. Regardless of the city, the franchise, or the league colorway, Project Green-Cup™ acts as a dedicated partner for the community. We directly fund, sponsor, and build youth soccer programs for children to develop and support the future players of the sport.
How the community sponsorship matrix works

Next-generation development
We provide children with high-quality, professional-grade kits featuring our official sustainability branding—creating a premium, inspiring environment for young players to grow their skills.
Flagship sponsor integration
This layout gives your venue's corporate sponsors an incredible secondary asset to attach their names to, extending their brand loyalty straight from the stadium suites down into local family households.
