rPET Cups – A New Life for More Sustainability
Smoothie, fruit juice, milkshake, or perhaps frozen yogurt? No matter your preference, our environmentally friendly rPET cups with matching lids accommodate all of that and more.
Why Choose Our Cups?
Quite simple: Our high-quality cups made from recycled PET not only contain a small rPET portion but are composed 100% of recycled plastic. With a capacity ranging from 200 ml to 500 ml, they can be used flexibly. Matching flat lids with and without tabs or straw crosses/straw holes can be added as needed. And if the contents ever exceed the rim of the cup, for example, in the case of a fresh fruit salad or an iced coffee with whipped cream, it's best to use our rPET dome lids. These are also available with and without straw holes.
You can find the matching straws with us as well.
What Sets rPET Apart from PET?
PET is an abbreviation for the plastic Polyethylene Terephthalate, which is derived from petroleum. This is environmentally unfriendly as petroleum reserves are limited, and its production releases a significant amount of CO2. However, PET has a major advantage: it can be recycled and processed into new products. Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, or rPET, is produced from already used PET, such as old PET bottles, used cups, and other plastic packaging.
Is rPET Sustainable?
In its second life as an rPET product, PET bottles, cups, and the like are significantly more sustainable and resource-friendly, as no additional petroleum needs to be processed. Moreover, rPET can be recycled without loss of raw materials and causes low CO2 emissions in the recycling process.
Recycled again, our rPET cups can be reintegrated into the recycling cycle, ensuring a continuous production of new bottles, cups, and other products made from recycled plastic. This is how sustainability works, and it's good for the entire world.
