Freshëns: Giving Business New Cup Options

According to Freshëns, a snack-food company based in Atlantic Georgia, they’re “making a difference one cup at a time.” Today, the company announced that starting this month, they’d be offering something other than frozen yogurt and smoothies: The ecotainer Paper Cold Cup.

Freshëns’ cold cups are made using sustainably-grown, renewable resources, but better yet, the liquid-resistant material used to coat the cups can be consumed by microbes, meaning that you can compost these cups.

“Premiering the first compostable and fully renewable cold cup is an honor for us,” said Freshëns Quality Brands President John Stern. “Though the cup does cost a little more, we believe it is an imperative element not only in our own corporate responsibility but in that of our industry. Freshëns has chosen to make positive decisions to protect and preserve our planet for ourselves and future generations.”

Did you know that individuals alone use over 40 billion paper cups every year in the United States – and that’s not counting the over 25 billion plastic and foam cups also purchased and use. Businesses use even more.

While I’m still an advocate of taking your own coffee mug and water bottle to work, because most companies, at some point, have guests, it is important to stay stocked with disposable cups. Using recycled cups is great, but now Freshëns’ cups now give you an even greener option.
