Deposit Return Scheme ReUse Takeaway Cup 12oz and 16 oz - Custom Printed

Our reusable thermal plastic takeaway cup is a sustainable alternative to the paper cup or single use disposables. The cup is durable and can be used multiple times. These cups don’t need extra cardboard barrier sleeves as it retains heat internally and prevents scalding externally. The cup creates less CO2 during its lifecycle than traditional paper cups and can be recycled in traditional plastic recycling bins.

These cups are available in 10 different colours and can be printed on from as little as 100 pieces. We can even be pantone matched to a specific colour from 1000 pieces minimum order quantity. They are made in the UK so have a low carbon footprint.

Our ReUse cups are BPA free, dishwasher and microwave safe. They are made from a thick single walled plastic ideal for hot or cold drinks and are applied with a safe, well fitting screw on lid.

• Reduces waste and reprocessing through multi-use
• Lowers carbon emissions than alternative single-use paper cups by 95%. Limiting manufacturing through washing and reuse vs continuous manufacturing and disposal to landfill.
• PP manufacturing scrap is reprocessed. Zero waste. 100% material utilisation
• Reduces demand and cost of single-use cups
• Cost per cup is radically reduced per use
• If used ‘in-house’ it reduces company waste and subsequent waste management collection costs.

Over one million coffee cups end up in UK landfill every minute. Paper cups need a wax or plastic lining to hold liquids, yet this combination of materials prevents cups being recycled alongside other paper products.

Made from polypropylene, the cup is durable, making it perfect for multiple use and deposit return schemes. It is easily recycled in plastic recycling bins or council collection schemes, supporting a circular plastics economy and exterminating single-use paper cups journey to landfill. Due to its ease of reusability, these cups will undoubtedly reduce the overall cost in the current supply chain and won't cost the earth”, unlike single-use paper cups.
