Material Innovation Explanation

Understanding rPET Technology: Traditional PP beer cups present recycling challenges in UK infrastructure with most commercial waste collections unable to process PP material resulting in landfill disposal. This rPET range represents material transition to UK's most recycled plastic (recycle code No.1) enabling practical mainstream recycling through standard collections. State-of-the-art green technology incorporates 70% recycled content (40% post-consumer + 30% manufactured reclaim) reducing virgin material consumption and carbon footprint considerably whilst maintaining shatterproof performance and clarity. The processing innovation ensures no perceived quality compromise delivering genuine sustainability advancement versus greenwashed alternatives.

Target Applications

Sustainable Licensed Service: Public houses, licensed venues, outdoor events, festivals, sports facilities, and entertainment operations requiring UKCA-compliant draught beer service with genuine mainstream recyclability and practical serving advantages including spillage reduction through oversize headroom design.

Environmental Authenticity: Post-consumer recycled content delivers measurable sustainability improvement whilst PET recycle code No.1 ensures practical end-of-life processing through mainstream UK recycling infrastructure. Oversize design (12oz to 10oz line, 22oz to 20oz line) provides frothy head accommodation reducing spillage waste. Material transition from difficult-to-recycle PP to mainstream recyclable rPET represents genuine environmental leadership versus alternatives requiring inaccessible specialist recycling facilities.

Please Note:

> Product is not compostable or biodegradable - designed for mechanical recycling through standard PET waste streams.
> Oversize design provides headroom: 12oz cup lined at 10oz (340ml), 22oz cup lined at 20oz (610ml).
> rPET material provides superior mainstream recyclability compared to PP alternatives requiring specialist facilities with limited UK commercial collection availability.
