Which Plastic Cup is Recyclable?
Posted by Chad Norman July 16th, 2007 .
Actually, both of these cups are recyclable - sort of. I took this photo because these cups appeared to be made of the same material, yet only The Moe’s cup had the three-arrowed recycling symbol on the bottom. After emailing Berry Plastics, they ensured me that both cups were indeed polypropylene, A.K.A. plastic #5.
Since plastic #5 isn’t recyclable in our area, you’re still better off reusing an old cup each time you visit one of these restaurants. But if you do live somewhere that picks up plastic #5, the Atlanta Bread Company cup can be recycled despite not being labeled.
