The Eco-Friendly Keg Party!

The infamous disposable plastic cup that has been a mainstay of college campuses around the country has finally received a much needed overhaul. The Solo Cup Company has just announced a launch of their first ever use of recycled content in a disposable cup for wide spread sale.

Solo’s Bare™ line of disposable plastic cups is made from 20 percent post-consumer recycled polyethylene (PET) plastic. According to Steve Jungmann, Solo Cup Company senior vice president of consumer sales and marketing, “Sustainability is an ongoing priority for Solo and for our consumers. Our Bare products deliver environmental benefits with all the performance, strength and style consumers expect. We are committed to providing alternative choices in convenience tableware while reducing our own footprint on the world’s environment.”

The Release of Solo’s Bare™ line of sustainable products is a step in the right direction for the disposable tableware industry. Not only are these cups made from recycled plastic, but they themselves can be recycled anywhere plastic bottles are accepted.

Although there is still a lot more that can be done in this industry, Solo has provided the weekend picknicker, or partygoer with more sustainable alternatives than ever before. Cheers to that!
