NICKNACK is celebrating its 10th Birthday! We decided to hold the celebration of our 10th birthday a bit untraditionally and organized the first NICKNACKFEST 2021 for employees and friends of the company. The program was really full. Guests could compete in NN games activities which included special NICKNACK disciplines and the band, DJ and singer provided a great atmosphere. 

We would like to thank everyone who supported us on our journey. Namely our employees and friends, it wouldn’t be possible to celebrate this jubilee without you!

The Tokyo Olympics is the world’s most followed event of this year. And in our office it isn’t otherwise. We support Czech sport at the Olympics and we would like to congratulate our Olympians on winning medals. We keep our fingers crossed for more fights to come.✊🥇✊ In the Olympic parks in Prague and Brno,visitors may also enjoy their drinks from these amazing nicknacks!

First weekend in July was dedicated to the 24th edition of Pohoda Festival. This year  known as Pohoda on the Ground. The organization of the festival was different due to the pandemic regulations. During five days the festival was divided into smaller series of one-day festivals with a capacity of 1000 visitors. Besides the music scene, visitors might enjoy several other activities, which would not be possible to do during the classic Pohoda festival, such as roller skates, scooters, and boards. Despite all the changes the specific chilled atmosphere aligned with its name remained the same, as we love it. 

NICKNACK and Pohoda festival are really close and we are happy to see how this festival has developed over the years. We first started to cooperate in 2014, when there were only produced nicknacks on 0,5L volume. Since this year we have never missed on this event. Gradually we started to produce 0,3L nicknacks for wine, our hot cups for coffee or tea and reusable boxes for meals. After 7 years since the first design we still see them being reused and loved by visitors, supporting  the sustainability of the whole event . 

The festival became the first to provide refreshments completely in reusable packaging and received the European Festival Awards for its ecological solution. Over the years of our cooperation, Pohoda is a leading green festival, which makes us very proud and happy and we are looking forward to see what the future brings for this wonderful event.

Palacký University has a new edition of returnable cups 🤩 We are happy to see that even Universities are using our nicknacks.

Every drop can help and blood donation will for sure become an annual tradition at NICKNACK. Try it too, the feeling is really worth it! 

The idea of getting closer to our customers has been in our heads for a long time, we were just looking for the right space. 

The new NICKNACK Washing Center Prague meets the strictest hygienic standards, can handle tens of thousands of returnable cups per day and offers large storage spaces.

We are often asked how cups that can no longer fulfill their function are handled. People wonder if we throw them in a landfill or to the sea. We can assure you, that we never did such a practices and never will 🙂

For several years NICKNACK has been cooperating with Brnometal company from Brno, which deals with the recycling of plastics, PET bottles and other packaging materials. In its sheltered workshop, Brnometal will sort discarded and no longer usable cups into printed and unprinted ones. Afterwards sorted crucibles are processed on a mechanical mill into a crumb.  This is further provided to specific customers for processing as production material. One of the customers is, for example, a local company that manufactures plastic accessories for furniture, laundry baskets, buckets and various plastic products.

In order to fulfill and adhere to one of the most important and basic principles of the circular economy: change waste in raw materials !! ♻️ 

You might have heard that we were working on some surprises. For the upcoming year 2020, we have prepared a novelty for you – HOT CUP!  To fulfill the wishes of our customers we have added to our reusable nicknacks line a cup with a lid designed for all types of hot drinks.

Original, design and reusable cup that not only works but also looks good with any type of print on it! Thanks to the innovative design, it allows you to enjoy your hot beverage comfortably while holding it in your hands.

HOT CUP will warm up all lovers of hot drinks!

This autumn is NICKNACK preparing a number of news for you. One of them will be our brand new website. 

NICKNACK is not only about the ecology and practicality of our cups, but also about relationships with our customers and those who have trusted us for years. The current appearance of the website, although functional, has not been updated for a long time, and it deserves a nice modernized coat. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for you in order to secure cups for your every event or for every venue. Therefore we are currently working to make our new website clear and functional.  Hopefully thanks to the new website, we will be a little closer to you.

We managed to save more than 60 tons of waste in 2018!

The year 2018 was a very successful one for us, because we managed to replace ca. 5 million disposable single-use plastic cups with NICKNACK cups. This amount of disposable cups would otherwise generate over 60 tonnes of waste, which is a very high figure indeed!

Thank you for helping protect the environment!

In addition, NICKNACK attended the membership meeting of the Association of Festivals – FESTAS, of which NICKNACK has been a member since this year.

At both of these events, we had the opportunity to obtain a lot of useful information and, most importantly, meet with the festival’s promoters.

Does the Zero Waste concept have its place in business?

We have answered this question together with other participants at the conference: Business & Zero Waste/ Yes or No?

We had presented at the event the concept of returnable cups, especially the advantages of the NICKNACK cup.

The Země na talíři/Earth on a Plate Festival is a documentary film festival that deals with environmental issues. The festival’s themes include disposable plastics. We are happy to be part of the festival.

The end of the year was the hardest in Nicknack’s in history.
The cups went on a concert tour with rock bands.
The first band was none smaller than legendary Czech rock band Kabát.
Kabát played 19 successful shows throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Our returnable cups were also successful, as many fans took them away as a memory of an already unforgettable show.

The open-air season has ended and Nicknacks are moving from festivals and outdoor events to the warmth of stadiums and halls.

The summer season was brought to a successful end with the mega-concert of popular Czech band Kryštof, which celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Strahov Stadium in Prague.

The show that no major international band would have to be ashamed of was a success and social networks were full of NICKNACK cups with the coloured “25” sign. Many cups were also taken home by the fans along with beautiful memories. Naturally, we are very pleased with this and look forward to seeing you at the next concert, sports match, in the bar or even with friends at a party.

You can have a drink from a NICKNACK cup anywhere.

We are very pleased that the media are writing about us again, this time in the March issue of the Forbes magazine, which features an article on Nicknack returnable cups, with the title that says it all – Plast & Chlast (Plastic & Booze).

You can Nicknack works and how the project was formed on page 84 in the Forbes magazine.
 

We have already pulled the biggest festivals out of the imaginary sea of dirty cups.

This year, Nicknacks were used at most major events in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland – at Colours of Ostrava, Pohoda Festival, Let it Roll, Hip Hop Camp, Trutnoff, Masters of Rock or Off Festival. However, Nicknacks were used at many other events. For the first time this year, we made a deal with the Metronome festival, the Ostravar Brewery Festival, the aforementioned Off Festival and Tauron Nowa Muzyka in Poland. Festival after festival, event after event, we save from drowning in garbage.

Music fans are not the only ones who can refresh themselves from our cups during the hot festival days. Hockey and football, and newly also cycling, fans may enjoy the experience and help as well. Returnable cups were raised for a toast to honour bikers at the World Cycling Championship in Nové Město na Moravě. Likewise, the skaters on the legendary Mystic Sk8 cup sprinkled their throats after challenging racing with a drink from the Nicknack cup.

We establish new relationships, strengthen the old ones and try to keep it clean and minimise waste wherever people take the cup.

A fight for the throne until the last moment. The final series between hockey teams Liberec White Tigers and Sparta Prague was decided in the sixth duel, which offered a great drama. Although the Tigers had a clear playing and shooting advantage, they failed to transform it into a goal, so the match went into overtime. Not even twenty minutes was enough, until the second extension brought the golden joy. At 85:19 Martin Bakoš hit and started an incredible euphoria. The White Tigers have a really historic season behind them. At the end, the group coached by Filip Pešán could raise not only the Presidential Cup for the winners of the regular season, the Masaryk Cup for the Champion of Extra League, but also have a toast with the filled NICKNACK cups with the finals’ motif. Congratulations!

It tells the story of the cooperation of residents from the village of Mulbekh and the Brontosaurs in the Himalayas with eleven 2×1.5m-sized photographs. After viewing the exhibition, festival visitors may support the organization’s activities by placing a solid plastic cup in the prepared barrel located next to the exhibition, thus donating the deposit for the cup for a good cause. The proceeds will go to the Indian village of Mulbekh, where they will support the construction of a school campus and improve local children’s access to quality education.

On Saturday June 27, inimitable soccer player Petr Švancara will close s his playing career at the legendary Za Lužánkami stadium in Brno.

At the same time, by buying a cup with a cup fans may provide financial support for the reconstruction of the stadium and the work of volunteers who have worked hard for six months to clean the stadium and its surroundings.
