What solution do we offer?
Cardboard cups with less than 5% Plastic:
We continue to innovate and always look for the most sustainable option. With our expertise, we have developed a new cup that contains less than 5% plastic! The amount of PE (polymers) in cardboard cups has been reduced without making the cardboard thicker.
Within CUPSZ, this will be the standard from July 1. We will However continue to offer the possibility of other types of coatings. Of course, you can continue to rely on the quality you are used to.
Recycling of cardboard cups:
CUPSZ helps companies collect and recycle cardboard cups in the Netherlands! The cups are collected via special collection bins and picked up from you. The recycling process then begins, in which the plastic coating is separated from the paper fibres, and the cardboard and plastic can be reused for various applications. We also help you with your registration with ILT and the administration thereof.
