Decarbonising the events industry, together. At RX, we’re serious about sustainability. We are founding members of the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge to make our company, our events and the wider events industry net zero. We commit to being net zero by 2040 and to make a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. In 2023 we will publish our pathway to net zero, setting out our reduction strategy with key milestones for all our events. Given the complex nature of our supply chain and the emissions associated with a show, it is only by working together as an industry that we will be able to reduce our impact. We are building a company of net zero heroes to take action and ensure a sustainable future. 

It’s only by working together as a retail industry that we will achieve our goals. 

​Simply Cups is Australia's first and largest paper cup recycling program. They save millions of cups from landfill and give them a second life. 

One of the reasons paper cups including coffee cups cannot be recycled in kerbside recycling is because of their waterproof lining. 

MCEC collects disposable coffee cups (of any type) via dedicated Simply Cups collection stations around the venue. At MCEC, coffee cups are also sorted and collected from the yellow recycling bin (unlike kerbside recycling).

Cups are collected by Simply Cups who process them and give them to their manufacturing partners to turn into high value products.
