BERRY Superfos Beverage Systems has launched vending cups made entirely of polypropylene (PP), which the firm said means they can be more easily recycled after use.
The business added that its innovation in its manufacturing processes has enabled it to manufacture the mono-material cups, making their recycling a real possibility in regions where there is the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place for PP.
“This is a huge step forward from the former polystyrene cups, a material that is not considered commonly recyclable due to a lack of recycling collection and infrastructure,” said UK sales manager Nigel Cannon. “In addition, the new PP cups are top quality and are produced with a minimum amount of material to ensure their low weight.”
The PP vending cups can be used for both cold and hot drinks. A safety brim fill gap means there is a little extra space at the top of the cup, with this gap allowing for contraction when held, thereby preventing risk of the drink overflowing.
The Berry Superfos vending cup range is designed to fit any vending machine model.
