FALLS CHURCH, Va.—In a landmark achievement for sustainability, the Foodservice Packaging Institute has helped propel U.S. recycling access for paper cups to a new high, with 20 percent of the nation’s population now living in communities where both single-sided (hot drink) and double-sided (cold drink) paper cups are accepted for recycling. The 20 percent figure was compiled by Resource Recycling Systems through reviews of community recycling program guidance and industry announcements.
