Study Fact
Single-use aluminum cups use 47% more energy over their life-cycle and create 86% more carbon dioxide, making it the least sustainable of all the materials analyzed.
Study Recommendation
Venues and event companies should begin the process of shifting away from ALL single-use cups, not just single-use plastic.
Study Support
Backed by 20+ environmental groups, including 5 Gyres Institute, Oceanic Global, Sierra Club, Music Sustainability Association, and many more.
