LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — ASM Global Acts, the corporate social responsibility platform of the venue management giant ASM Global, announced it has partnered with r.World to introduce reusable serviceware at its portfolio of managed North American venues.

Under the terms of the agreement, ASM Global will begin using reusable productions at the the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center and select hospitality locations at the upcoming Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach before rolling out r.World’s products in its other venues in North America.

Ending the use of single-use plastics in front-of-house operations is part of the sustainability goals ASM Global announced in 2023.

“We are pleased to have r.World as a supporter of ASM Global Acts,” said Shaun Beard, ASM Global senior vice president of food and beverage. “Our goal is to always provide our customers the best guest experiences in the live entertainment business and r.World is clearly the top company in its field.”

“Thanks to r.World’s reusable cup program, the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center has become a shining example of how sustainability can be seamlessly woven into the fabric of large-scale events,” said Robert Smit, general manager. “Moreover, the sense of community fostered by this initiative is palpable. Knowing that we’re all united in our commitment to sustainability creates a shared sense of purpose among attendees, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the event. I commend r.World for their dedication to environmental stewardship and look forward to seeing more venues adopt similar initiatives in the future.”

“We’re thrilled to support ASM Global Acts to bring reuse to their vast network of venues,” said Michael Martin, Founder & CEO of r.World. “Their commitment to sustainability innovations like reuse is playing an important role in accelerating the impact and awareness of the reuse movement.”
