ENFITMEHRWEGSUMMIT 2026
From Regulation to Reality.
From regulatory ambition to a working European reuse loop — discussed in the cinema, seen in operation, and taken into implementation together. The summit is held in German.
Why this cinema is the right place
Daily cinema waste turned into a reuse mission.
This is where Sven Döding's path from cinema operator to reuse pioneer began. A look into the full auditorium shows why a concrete waste problem grew into a professional reuse system for cinemas and other sectors.
Every evening it bothered me how many single-use cups and popcorn buckets ended up in the bin after just a few hours. That is why I switched my cinema to reusables early — and that conviction later became Mehrwegkonzepte.
