Ever found yourself on a beach, sipping a margarita, only to feel a pang of guilt about the plastic cup in your hand? Enter Better for All, the innovative brand turning the tide on single-use plastic with their groundbreaking bioplastic cups. Made from PHBH, these cups are designed to biodegrade in nearly any environment, ensuring your beach day doesn’t contribute to pollution.
Helming this eco-revolution is Bob Meers, the former CEO of Lululemon and Reebok. Under his leadership, Better for All has launched a line of home compostable cups. Their efforts recently took center stage at the 2024 Rock the Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival, where their cups were the official partner, spotlighting their mission to remake the event cup industry with nontoxic, renewable, and compostable materials.
Better for All cups are not only refillable but also designed to be discarded with food waste, compostable food service items, and plant trimmings for processing into compost at commercial composting facilities. Certified home compostable, these cups can also be tossed into home compost bins when their time is up, ensuring they break down naturally without harming the environment.
PHBH, the bioplastic used in Better for All cups, can naturally degrade even in landfill environments, offering a solution where commercial composting isn’t available. Ideal for crowded settings like stadiums and festivals, these cups are easy for spectators and waste management to sort, aiding facilities in their pursuit of circularity. Manufactured in Kentucky, the cups are made from pure PHBH without additives or colorants, resulting in a semi-transparent, semi-opaque appearance with a gold-toned hue that varies slightly like all plant-derived materials.
The cups have passed stringent certifications, including TUV for home compostability and soil biodegradability, guaranteeing they break down completely in backyard compost piles and soil without adverse environmental effects. Designed for repeated use, these cups can be run through the dishwasher or hand-washed multiple times, offering a lightweight, flexible, and stackable solution that doesn’t leach toxins. When they eventually become damaged or broken, simply compost them to close the loop.
In a world striving to combat global warming and pollution, reducing disposable everything is key. With Better for All, you can enjoy your drinks knowing you’re part of the solution. So, next time you’re packing for a picnic, beach day, or festival, grab a Better for All cup and sip sustainably.
