If your business or event requires disposable cups, there are better alternatives to plastic and styrofoam. These 16 oz. paper cups are 100% compostable, made with renewable resources, recycled materials and environmentally certified. Compostable materials help divert them from entering landfills which release carbon dioxide.

According to the EPA, recycling and composting prevented 87.2 million tons of material from being disposed in 2013, up from 15 million tons in 1980. Diverting these materials from landfills prevented the release of approximately 186 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent into the air in 2013. That’s equivalent to taking over 39 million cars off the road for a year.

Sustainable Earth by Staples products also include compostable cold cups, compostable paper plates and bowls, eco friendly paper towels, notebooks, easel pads, carpet cleaner, toner cartridges, and more.
