The popular Clear Cups are extremely versatile, which is why the transparent plastic cups are used for a variety of contents:

1. Drinks to go : Clear cups are ideal for serving drinks such as coffee, smoothies, lemonade and more. Thanks to their transparency, customers can see the drink clearly and know immediately what they are getting into.

2. Cocktails and alcoholic beverages : Clear plastic cups are often used in bars and restaurants for cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. They offer a good way to present the bartenders' creations in an attractive way.

3. Desserts : Clear cups are ideal for desserts, parfaits and puddings. The sturdy cups allow for an attractive presentation of the sweets to customers.

4. Salads and snacks : In addition, clear cups are often used in the catering industry for salads and snacks to arrange and serve them aesthetically.

The sustainability of to-go cups depends on various factors. First and foremost, it depends on the materials used and the disposal options. Traditional plastic cups made of hard plastic are usually not particularly sustainable because they are difficult to recycle and take a long time to decompose. For example, if paper cups are used instead of plastic, they often have a plastic lid, which means they are still extremely harmful to the environment.

Sustainable alternatives are therefore needed to reduce the environmental impact of disposable cups. One environmentally friendly alternative is clear cups made from recycled PET . These rPET cups are made from recycled plastic and can themselves be recycled very easily - a cycle that benefits nature. In addition to rPET cups, clear cups made from PLA are an environmentally friendly alternative. Cups made from PLA (polylactide) have similar product properties to conventional plastic, but are biodegradable and therefore much more environmentally friendly.

Another option is organic cups made from corn starch. These are increasingly being used in modern restaurants, are made from renewable raw materials and are also compostable. Reusable cups made from glass, stainless steel or even plastic are also a sustainable option. By using them multiple times, the consumption of disposable cups is reduced and material is saved.

When choosing the right drinking vessel, the main thing is the intended use and the desired environmental factor. Since disposable cups that are not explicitly labeled as sustainable have a massive impact on the environment, you should ensure that they meet a certain minimum level of environmental friendliness. In addition, you should only buy lids - regardless of the material - and give them to customers when they really need them. Lids are often not required, which is why we at Better-Pack always offer our lids separately from the cups.
