It’s time to rethink foam
Rethink Resources
The statistics say it all. It takes 50% less energy+ to produce polystyrene versus your average paperboard hot beverage cup with corrugated sleeve. Additionally, 20% less water++ is used in the production of polystyrene foam products than paperboard products. In the end, it’s about minimizing the use of our natural resources and negative impact on our energy sources.
Rethink Waste
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam cups are 100% recyclable.** Paper cups with a poly-lining generally are not. +++ Somewhere along the line, foam developed a negative reputation, but when it comes to reducing waste, EPS foam is a better option.
**Recycling facilities for this product may not exist in your area.
Rethink Cost
EPS foam cups cost less than paper with a poly-lining. In fact, EPS foam is the least expensive substrate available for disposable cups.
Rethink Performance
EPS foam cups are the best insulator for keeping drinks hotter or colder for longer than paper or plastic cups.
