Sustainability at Mambo Mobile Bars

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to making every event as eco-friendly as possible, reducing waste, and supporting local businesses.

Christmas 2024: A Sustainable Celebration

This past Christmas, we had the pleasure of working with Derby City Council and Derby Live to bring the Nordic Bar to Derby city centre. With a record-breaking 28,000 visitors, we demonstrated that large-scale events can be both successful and sustainable.

We proudly collaborated with local suppliers, including Sami Tipi, Circulayo, Palin Fruit, and Freedom Brewery, ensuring that where possible, our products were sourced locally.

But the real impact? Thanks to Circulayo, we received an end-of-event impact report revealing that in just 33 days of trading, we saved:
816+ KG CO2 emissions
218+ KG of single-use plastic
That’s the equivalent of saving 726 cocktail shakers from going to waste!

If we can make this much of a difference in one event, imagine the impact we can have year-round.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Mambo Mobile Bars, we recognize that our operations have an environmental impact, and we’re dedicated to minimizing it. Our sustainability efforts are guided by the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Reduce

We actively work to minimize waste by refilling bottles from larger eco-friendly containers, reducing packaging, and cutting down on deliveries to lower our carbon footprint.

Reuse

We say no to single-use plastics! Our preferred serving vessels are glass, which are washed and reused. For events where glass isn’t an option, we offer sustainable alternatives like compostable glassware and Circulayo’s reusable cups, ensuring a full circular system for event packaging.

Recycle

For anything we can’t reuse, we recycle responsibly. Sometimes, we even upcycle—ever had a drink from one of our stylish jam jar glasses?

We’re also conscious of our energy use. Our bars are fitted with energy-efficient LED lighting, and instead of power-hungry fridges, we use large coolers of ice to keep drinks perfectly chilled.

Supporting Local & Reducing Carbon Footprint

By working with local suppliers, we not only reduce emissions from deliveries but also help boost the local economy. It’s a win-win for sustainability and the community.
