The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA), promoting the recycled materials industry in the US, for the first time added paper cups to its list of classifications for recycled materials. ReMA's Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) Specifications now include paper cups under paper items allowable in inbound residential single and dual recycling streams. This is a major milestone in a broader movement to increase awareness and drive greater collection of paper cups in recycling systems. Industry associations, consumer brands and sustainable packaging companies — including Graphic Packaging International, the largest producer of paper cups in the U.S. — have been collaborating to accelerate this important change. In the U.S., we collaborate with the Paper Cup Alliance, Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI), American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA), NextGen Consortium and other industry groups.
