Robeks switches from foam to recyclable cups

April 23, 2013

Starting this summer, Robeks will switch from foam cups to recyclable plastic cups. According to the company, many of its customers requested the change.

Robeks' new cups will be made of polypropylene, which uses less material, requires 50 percent less energy to produce, and can easily be recycled many times. Bins in each store will make recycling easy and convenient.

"Robeks guests come to us because they know that we value their health and they want to enjoy a delicious, nutritious, and refreshing Robeks drink or bowl," said CEO Steve Davidson. "They know that today's choices determine tomorrow's outcomes, so it's natural for them to be concerned about the health of the environments inside and outside of their bodies. We're very excited and pleased to make this switch to help make our planet a healthier place and its resources more sustainable. We hope our competitors follow suit."
