Biodegradable Plastic Pint Glasses - CE Pint-to-Rim - Exclusive to Regalzone 

When it comes to the environment, customers increasingly want to do the right thing and been seen to be doing the right thing. Unfortunately there are no perfect environmental solutions and the relative environmental merits of the materials we offer are discussed in this article: Environmentally Friendly Options for Plastic Glasses.

In 2007-2010, biodegradable plastic pint glasses made from PLA were becoming increasingly popular and it was thought that in the future all disposable plastic pint glasses would be made from PLA or some other type of bioplastic.

However, in the 2011, the disadvantages of PLA as an environmentally friendly material have become more well known and at the same time, the availability of kerbside recycling for mixed plastics has greatly increased. For more information about the overall environmental impact of recycling plastic in relation to other materials, this WRAP report may be of interest: Environmental Benefits of Recycling - 2010 update.

As a result of the move from PLA to easily recycled plastics like PET, the product you see on this page is no longer available. Today, our recommendation for the most environmentally friendly choice for disposable plastic glasses is PET coupled with a plan for collection and recycling.

Although this product is no longer available, we have kept and updated this page for information purposes. The situation regarding plastic glasses and the environment is constantly changing and Regalzone will always try to offer the best solution. If you have any comments on this matter, we would be pleased to hear from you.
