The cardboard wrap, which can be made from recycled material, lends sturdiness to the plastic cup so that it can be produced with particularly thin walls. Recycling the cups requires less energy than using virgin material and produces less waste.īut aside from the material used, cardboard-plastic combinations have a number of other sustainable properties. Because the new cups are made from 100% recycled, unprinted r-PET monomaterial, they can be processed into 100% food-safe cups again and again as long as the appropriate collection streams are used. “By switching from virgin PP to r‐PET, we can reduce CO2 emissions by around 40%*,” explains Jan Srnka, sales manager at Greiner Packaging.Ī sustainable plastic, r-PET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) is lightweight, shatterproof, and free of plasticizers.

No virgin material is used at all, and the new cups significantly cut down on carbon emissions.
