Explore insights, success stories, and practical resources.
From new sustainability regulations to major event partnerships, we share the latest updates shaping the future of reusable packaging and waste reduction.
At the Polygreen stand, we will showcase how our reusable packaging system helps events and F&B partners cut single-use waste and move toward a circular, scalable solutions.
Polygreen will also take the stage with two sessions, including Just Go Zero: How Tilos Became the World’s First Zero Waste Island and the panel Designing Out Waste: Breaking the Throw-Away Mindset.
If you’re attending WFES, come meet us at the Polygreen stand to experience the system firsthand, explore opportunities for collaboration, and see how reuse can work for your venue or organisation.
A circular economy keeps materials in use for as long as possible, reducing waste at the source. Instead of throwing away packaging after one use, products circulate continuously through washing, sterilization and reuse.
At Again, Please, every cup and container is designed to return, be washed, tracked, and placed back into service. It’s a smarter system that cuts waste, saves resources, and supports the UAE’s national transition to circularity.
Single-use packaging requires non-stop production, distribution and disposal — all of which carry a heavy environmental cost. Reusable systems break this cycle entirely.
All Again, Please environmental metrics are based on 75 reuses, in line with the verified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our manufacturing partner for the 500ml PP cup. Below is the measurable impact of one reusable cup over 75 uses.
Estimates based on average life-cycle assessment data for polypropylene reusable cups and single-use plastic cups, assuming 75 reuse cycles and industrial washing. Actual impacts may vary by location, energy mix, and operations.

The UAE is rapidly transitioning to a circular, low-waste future by phasing out single-use plastics across the country. Abu Dhabi banned single-use plastic bags in 2022, and Dubai followed with a full ban in 2024.
Under Federal Ministerial Resolution No. 380 of 2022, the UAE will implement a nationwide ban on the import, production and trade of most single-use plastic items - including cups, lids, cutlery, plates and food containers - starting 1 January 2026.
“At Again, Please, we’re building circular systems by replacing single-use packaging with reusable packaging.
Our end-to-end reusable solutions help eliminate waste, reduce carbon emissions, and meet measurable circular economy goals, all while simplifying compliance and enhancing the guest experience."
See how venues, events, and hospitality brands are implementing circular systems that reduce waste and enhance operational performance. Our use cases highlight real results achieved through partnership, innovation, and sustainable design.
A concert where 40,000 people use Again, Please reusable cups instead of single-use cups. Using the verified 75 uses cycle metrics, we can expect the following results:
