Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Smoothie Pod, a popular spot for students near the University of Leeds, wanted to upgrade their takeaway packaging to a more sustainable option that matched their healthy, eco-friendly ethos.
"Our customers are really switched on when it comes to the environment. Switching to these rPET cups was a fantastic decision. They look professional, they're tough enough for our thickest smoothies, and we love telling people they're made from recycled materials."
Mark Riley – Owner, The Smoothie Pod
The change resulted in a significant increase in positive social media mentions regarding their commitment to sustainability.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using & Storing Your Cups
- Always store the sleeves of cups in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent damage.
- Keep them in their original packaging until needed to protect them from dust and contamination.
- Simply unwrap a sleeve and place it upside down in a cup dispenser or neatly by your service station for easy access.
- Ensure staff handle cups from the base, not the rim, to maintain the best hygiene standards.
Responsible Disposal
- Advise customers that these cups can be placed in most standard plastic recycling bins.
- Consider adding a clearly marked recycling bin in your establishment to make it easy for customers.
- A quick rinse to remove leftover drink residue helps improve the quality of the recycling process.
- These are not compostable, so ensure they don't end up in food waste or general waste where possible.

You've probably seen 'rPET' on packaging, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it like giving a plastic bottle a second career. Instead of creating brand new plastic from oil, rPET takes existing plastic items that have been thrown away, cleans them, and remakes them into something new and useful, like these eGreen FN218 disposable glasses. This whole process uses far less energy and fewer natural resources. For your café or food truck, it’s a simple, powerful way to reduce your environmental footprint and show customers you're making a conscious choice—turning everyday packaging into a positive statement about your brand.
