The new One Cup, which needs no sleeve, is said to use and FSC-Certified paper 65% less CO2 than a traditional cup to produce, and can be composted in 90 days.
While traditional insulated cups are made by adding additional layers of paper; One Cup does the same with the company's patented insulation material on a single wall cup.
According to Repurpose, this food service product offers the greenest possible alternative to Styrofoam and non-compostable insulated cups.
Repurpose Compostables CEO Lauren Gropper said the company's new insulated cup with Ingeo based lining eliminates the need for double cupping which it has found in speaking to vendors is a hidden cost that people don't realize.
"The One Cup also eliminates the need for a sleeve, another wasteful product associated with hot beverages. In many cases vendors are using four individual pieces. Finally a one product solution exists that is also compostable, comes from renewable resources and is affordable," Gropper concluded.
Repurpose said that its products are made from plants, not petroleum, using Ingeo resin and meet ASTM 6400 compostability standards.
