Beyond the Bean has launched a new Sweetbird reusable cup for cold drinks. With all the focus on reusable cups for hot drinks, the company decided the time was right to work on eliminating single use plastic cups for cold drinks. The new Sweetbird Reusable Cold Cup has been created with all cold drinks in mind. With a hole big enough to sip and slurp through, or fit a wide straw, and a removable closing tab making it easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher, the 16oz is large enough for a frappé with cream and toppings. Made from polypropylene, the cup can be recycled at the end of its long life.
Helen Ostle, Head of Communications explained: “There has been such great work removing single use hot drink cups from circulation, yet many businesses are still selling their cold drinks in single use plastic cups. We want to help drive change in our industry by providing this new reusable option to our customers so that they can offer them to customers, and incentivise them to continue to reuse them by giving a discount when they are brought back and used again as happens with hot cups.“
The popularity of iced tea and coffee drinks continue to grow with the proportion of UK consumers surveyed purchasing iced tea out-of-home over the last 12 months rising 9% to reach 25%, according to the latest research from World Coffee Portal.
