01 Sep 2021 --- Austrian packaging companies Starlinger Viscotec, Greiner Packaging and PET-MAN have joined forces to develop milk cups for kindergarteners and school children made entirely from unprinted, recycled PET (rPET). The cups cost roughly the same as single-use polystyrene (PS) cups. With the environment in mind, creating new cups with rPET results in over 30 percent fewer CO2 emissions compared to reusable glass bottles. Moreover, the cups are lighter, made of less material and require less energy to be cleaned for recycling than glass.
