How does it work?

  • Collect your recycle token in the green zone when entering the Johan Cruijff ArenA.

  • Hand in your used cup the next time you order a drink. Did you lose your cup or are you not returning a cup? Then you have to pay a recycling fee of €0,50 per cup.
  • Don’t want to get a new drink? Don't throw your cup on the ground or in the bin, but exchange it for a recycle token.
