[GreenYes] Re: Recyclable Plastic Cups

["Stephen N Weisser" <stevew@no.address>]

Hi Craig,
Not in this area yet and maybe not in yours...but compostables collection
(yard waste, food waste, biodegradables, paper/etc) is becoming more popular
these days.  Your best bet that I know of are compostable PLA cups

<http://www.greenlinepaper.com/products.asp?categoryID=8&subcategoryID=41>
&subcategoryID=41 or compostable paper cups which are PLA or waxed (NOT
plastic) coated.  We will carry these soon.

Close the loop: recycling works when we buy recycled.

Subject: [GreenYes] Recyclable Plastic Cups



In our central Idaho community, we recycle on #1 and #2 plastic bottles only
(no tubs or cups).  Yet we also have a lot of special events where plastic
cups are used but cannot be recycled.

 

I understand the cups are not accepted in these plastic bottle recycling
streams because of their manufacturing process (ie injection molding).

 

Does anyone know of a plastic beverage cup (beer and/or wine) that is
manufactured in a manner that can be accepted in this plastic bottle
recycling stream?

 

TIA for your help,
