Autumn full of sips 🍂☕

As temperatures drop, so do outdoor events. Nevertheless, we were happy that our returnable cups could accompany visitors to several significant October celebrations – whether in Pilsen, Brno or Prague.

PILSNER FEST
Traditionally, the first weekend of October in Pilsen was marked by the celebration of beer. The Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery came alive again with live music, excellent food and multi-genre culture. The music program featured well-known names such as Buty, Xindl X, Hundred Animals, Top Dream Company and Monkey Business, who performed on one of the two festival stages. Visitors were able to experience the music and atmosphere of the festival without having to reach for disposable cups, which helped to reduce the amount of waste at the event.

OKTOBERFEST BRNO
The eighth year of Oktoberfest was held at Zelné trhu in Brno, where Bavarian culture and beer were celebrated. Six types of beer directly from the breweries participating in the Munich Oktoberfest awaited the visitors. The traditional beer festivities were enriched with our returnable cups, which underlined the direction towards sustainability at this local festival as well.

DARKSHIRE MONASTERY & CHURCH FESTIVAL
On Friday, October 11, the Darkshire Monastery & Church Festival took place in Prague’s Gabriel Loci Monastery. This electronic music festival was held in the unique premises of the monastery, which gave the event a special atmosphere. Here, too, we had the opportunity to provide a more ecological environment for visitors using our returnable cups.

ANNUAL OFFSITE TEAMBUILDING

In October, we also met at our traditional offsite teambuilding meeting, this time at Smrčka. We devoted this time not only to evaluating the past season, but also to developing team spirit and getting to know each other better. Using intuitive games, we got closer to our colleagues and set ambitious goals for 2025. 

The returnable cups also made their way to several important events in October, thus supporting an ecological approach to entertainment even in the colder months.

Where did the first autumn leaves take us?🍂🍁 In other words, the end of the festival season.

September was also a month full of great events for us, where we contributed to a more sustainable environment with our reusable cups.

Pálavské vinobraní – This year’s 77th Pálavské vinobraní was marked by a great atmosphere and a rich cultural program that attracted thousands of visitors. 44,000 people visited sun-drenched Mikulov, who enjoyed the wine celebrations in full swing despite the temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius. Our returnable cups became an integral part of this celebration, contributing to the reduction of single-use waste and creating a greener environment for all wine lovers.

Burger Festival – Burger lovers could meet our reusable cups at a number of festivals throughout the Czech Republic, including events in Brno, Liberec, Frýdek-Místek and other cities. This festival does not end, it continues in October and we will be there again!

Notino 20th Anniversary – Feel Good A day with Notino – Does twenty years of progress demand a proper party? We agree! On Sunday, September 22, 2024, NOTINO turned Brno Business Park into one big festival, where people sang, had fun, competed and beautified. English singer-songwriter Tom Odell and Monika Bagárová performed at this unique celebration. Our cups were part of this unforgettable day and helped create a greener environment for all visitors.

Second International Meeting – Krakow – Our cups did not stay only in the Czech Republic! We also looked into Krakow, Poland for our second international meeting with our foreign partners. It was a weekend full of discussions, meetings, presentations and fun!

Thank you to everyone who supported us by choosing our returnable cups at these events.

News from events: Where did we go with reusable cups in August? 👣

August has been quite a ride for us! 🚀 Drinks were served in our returnable cups at a lot of great events. See where we helped reduce single-use plastics everywhere:

– LET IT ROLL 🎶🌍 – This largest drum and bass festival in the country was an eco-pioneer back in 2014 when it was one of the first to introduce returnable cups. This year we joined their own GREEN program, which seeks to minimize waste and promote sustainability. Bass and ecology? They go together! 

– Prague Pride 🏳️‍🌈❤️ – Love, tolerance and cups that don’t create waste. Over 100,000 of you came to the festival this year and we’re glad we could help create a more sustainable backdrop for such a great and colourful event. 

– Healing Festival 🧘‍♀️🌿 – In the heart of nature, with respect for the environment and our hot cups in hand. Harmony of body and planet guaranteed! 

– Burger festival 🍔 – A great burger and a drink from NICKNACK? Everything tastes even better without disposable packaging. 

– Love stream 🎤💖 – Love and music flowed just like the beer from our returnable cups. At this event we enjoyed concerts by world class stars like 50 CENT, Rita Ora, Macklemore and Tiesto. An event full of passion, great music and an eco-friendly attitude. 

– Kravařský odpust 🎡 – As the holidays enter their second half and the “cold mornings” begin again, the locals prepare for a big celebration – Kravařský odpust. This more than century-old tradition of celebrating St Bartholomew, the patron saint of the local parish church, takes place every year on 24 August. The streets of Kravaře are alive with both the spiritual and the secular – from the masses to the merry-go-rounds and stalls where you can drink your fill. 🎠🍻 The second largest event of its kind in the Czech Republic, after the Matějská pilgrimage! 

– Trutnoff 🎪 – The atmosphere at this legendary festival was as iconic as our eco-friendly cups. Good old Trutnoff did not disappoint! 

Thanks to all the organisers and participants for a great collaboration and we look forward to more events together!

NICKNACKFEST 2021

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!

Olympic Park

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!

Pohoda Festival

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.

NEW NICKNACK Washing Center in Prague

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.

You can order the game with a beautiful cup only on Originalky.cz 

What do we do with broken nicknacks?

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 !! ♻️ 

Hot Cup – a revolutionary cup not only for coffee

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!

OUR NEW WEBSITE!

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

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.

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.

 

Kryštof at Strahov Stadium

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.

Nicknack in Forbes

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.
 

Nicknack in 2016

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.

Liberec White Tigers 2015/2016 Ice Hockey Extra League

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!
