Now Serving Vio® Biodegradable* Straws At The US Open®
New York City (September, 2018) – Attendees at the 50th US Open® are able to enjoy a new sustainability initiative: Vio® biodegradable* straws by WinCup®.
This follows increasing consumer demand for alternatives to traditional plastic straws. Overall, 53% of consumers say it’s important for restaurants to have eco-friendly practices, according to Technomic’s 2017 Value & Pricing Consumer Trend Report. As a result, foodservice venues of all kinds are looking to replace traditional plastic straws while still allowing consumers to conveniently enjoy beverages on the go.
Vio® is the first plastic straw to biodegrade in a landfill. This innovative product performs just like traditional straws, with the added benefit of biodegrading 88.5% over 7 years*.
“We’re thrilled that Vio® has reached a global audience at the US Open®, where it’s supporting performance and sustainability goals,” says Mark Miranda, Director of Marketing & Business Development at WinCup.
Vio® biodegradable* straws are available in the most popular sizes, both unwrapped and individually paper wrapped. They’re part of the complete line of Vio® biodegradable* EPS foam cups and containers with coordinating biodegradable* lids and straws. The entire Vio® line combines classic performance with innovative technology to answer the call for more sustainable products with exceptional value.
