David Llewellyn, Chief Executive at the Vending & Automated Retail Association (AVA), explains the benefits of the Single Use Plastic Ban and Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) to improve sustainability in stadium hospitality.

With a track record of dealing with hard to manage crowds, large volumes of people and significant safety risks, stadiums are often ahead of the curve when it comes to crowd safety and venue security. But threats, vulnerabilities and risks change, along with the events for which stadiums cater, the facilities that need to be protected and, of course, the people attending those facilities. Consequently, it is vital that stadiums regularly take stock of their safety and security requirements and take action to address them.
