Product Description
These 440ml disposable glasses from eGreen are made from rPET — recycled polyethylene terephthalate — which means the material comes from post-consumer plastic rather than virgin feedstock. That distinction matters for operators who are working to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on practicality. At 440ml, the capacity is a standard 12oz serve, making them a natural fit for soft drinks, beer, cider, or water at events where glassware is impractical or prohibited.
In practice, rPET disposables like these are a sensible choice for outdoor events, festivals, sports venues, university bars, and large-scale catering operations where the logistics of collecting, washing, and returning glassware aren't viable. The material has reasonable rigidity for a disposable — enough to hold its shape during service — while remaining lightweight for both operator handling and guest use. The pack quantity of 1000 is well suited to medium-to-large events or venues that go through volume consistently.
- Made from 100% rPET — a recycled material with a lower carbon footprint than virgin plastic
- Suitable for soft drinks, cold beer, cider, and water service
- Practical for outdoor, festival, and high-footfall venue use where glass is not permitted
- Pack of 1000 reduces reorder frequency for busy operations
- Recyclable after use, supporting closed-loop sustainability commitments
It is worth noting that rPET is not suitable for hot drinks or carbonated drinks served under prolonged pressure, so these are best kept to cold-serve applications. They are not reusable in a commercial sense and should be treated as single-use.
If you are weighing up quantities for a specific event size or looking at a range of sustainable disposable options, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work out what makes sense for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — rPET is designed for cold-serve applications. These glasses are not recommended for hot drinks or for extended use with highly carbonated beverages under pressure. They are best suited to cold soft drinks, water, beer, and cider service.
- A common working figure for single-use cups at events is 2–3 cups per person, per day, to account for spillage, loss, and multiple drink rounds. A pack of 1000 would typically cover 300–500 guests for a single session, though this varies depending on the nature of your event and service style. It is worth building in a buffer for longer or multi-day events.
- Yes — rPET is a widely recyclable material. However, collection and recycling infrastructure varies by venue and local authority, so it is worth confirming your on-site recycling provision in advance. Clear labelling on collection points and staff briefing can significantly improve recycling rates at events.
