A clear cold beverage cup manufactured from 50% recycled PET bottles was introduced by Eco-Products, a leading manufacturer of single-use food service products that are made from recycled and renewable resources. New Belgium Brewery, a company based in Colorado, will be the fist customer to use these clear recycled beverage cups.
Director of media relations at New Belgium Brewery, Bryan Simpson, said that the introduction of recycled beverage cups will enable the company to reduce the use of virgin plastic cups to half. The company will utilize these recycled cups where the collection facility is not available. Simpson said the company’s continuous effort to reduce its environmental impact and carbon foot print is further strengthened.
Bob King, CEO of Eco-Products, said the company’s customers require various options to achieve its sustainable goals for food service. King commented that to offer its customers a complete range of products manufactured from recycled material as well as renewable resources, the introduction of this new recycled cup is a step forward.
The recycled cold content cups from Eco-Products are suitable for the food service provider who is seeking green options that is affordable as well as tolerant to heat. The products of Eco-Products that are made from recycled material and renewable resources are supplied to sporting stadiums restaurants, corporate cafes, hotels, events, and national parks throughout the country.
