Fans will be able to enjoy pregame beverages in Better for All's reusable, renewable, and certified home compostable cups during USC's Ultimate Tailgate Trojan Fan Fest from 4:00 to 8:00 PM on September 7th, located just east of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Fans in the Audi Field House VIP tent will also enjoy their beverages out of Better for All cups during the game.

Better for All's lightweight yet durable cups are made from co-sponsor Kaneka Biopolymers' Green Planet™ PHBH, a material made by fermenting plant seed oils. Better for All cups are capable of handling both warm and cold beverages and are non toxic and certified home compostable, giving Trojan fans the opportunity to enjoy their beverages and seamlessly reduce single-use plastic drinkware at every game.

The Zero Waste Game caps USC's Green Week, a week of campus activities profiling sustainable initiatives and progress at USC September 3rd through September 6th.

Better for All's sponsorship of the USC Zero Waste game directly supports USC President Carol Folt's mission by contributing to USC's Assignment: Earth initiative, promoting sustainability in campus operations. The University has previously partnered with Better for All for Zero Waste Game in 2023 as well as the 2024 USC men's basketball season. USC was named the winner of the Best Fan Engagement sub-category in the Pac-12 Zero Waste Challenge for the 2022 football season.

Better for All will also return as a sponsor for the USC women's basketball games at the Galen Center for the 2024-25 season, bringing their home compostable cups to the VIP area starting in January.
