Product Description
These eGreen disposable glasses are made from rPET — recycled polyethylene terephthalate — which means the material comes from post-consumer plastic rather than virgin feedstock. At 470ml capacity, they're a practical choice for cold drinks service across a wide range of catering settings, from bar and festival use to large-scale event catering and outdoor hospitality.
rPET carries a meaningful environmental advantage over standard disposable plasticware: because the material is already recycled, the carbon footprint associated with production is lower than manufacturing from new. The glasses are also recyclable after use, which supports waste stream management on busy events where washing up isn't practical.
In operational terms, these glasses hold up well through normal drinks service — they're robust enough to handle the handling that comes with high-volume pouring and self-service bars without collapsing under a full drink. They won't replace a reusable polycarbonate glass where durability across multiple washes is the priority, but for single-use service they perform reliably.
- Suitable for cold drinks service at outdoor events and festivals
- Recyclable after use, supporting on-site waste management
- Made from rPET rather than virgin plastic, reducing production carbon footprint
- Available in a pack of 1000, suited to high-volume service runs
These glasses are best suited to event caterers, festival bars, sports venues, and any operator running large-scale outdoor or temporary service where single-use disposables are the practical choice. If your volumes are lower or your event mix varies, it's worth considering whether a smaller pack size meets your needs without overstocking.
If you're unsure which disposable or reusable option best fits your service setup, the team are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- rPET is not rated for hot liquids and these glasses are intended for cold drinks service only. For hot beverage service, you would need a product specifically designed for that purpose, such as a double-walled paper cup or a suitable polypropylene alternative.
- Because they are made from rPET, these glasses can enter the plastic recycling stream rather than general waste, provided your event site has suitable recycling collection in place. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that they accept rPET disposables, as collection arrangements vary between venues and local authorities.
- For a single-day event with moderate footfall, 1000 glasses will often be sufficient for a single bar station, assuming cups are not being reused across rounds. For multi-day events, larger festivals, or sites with several bar points running simultaneously, operators typically order multiple packs to avoid mid-event shortfalls — it is worth estimating expected covers and average drink rounds before ordering.
