Solo Cup launches new recycling program
TerraCycle Solo Cup Include USA
Solo party cups can have a second life under a new national recycling initiative launched by Solo Cup Company.
The company announced it is joining forces with TerraCycle to create the Solo Cup Brigade - individuals, schools and non-profits that will collect used Solo Squared plastic cups and return them to TerraCycle for recycling. The recycled material will be used to make other items such as equipment for playgrounds, park benches and outdoor furniture.
For every Solo Squared cup received, 2 cents will be donated to Keep America Beautiful or the non-profit or school of the collecting Brigade member's choice.
