And people ask about Reusable Cups With Lids.

Why Plastic Cups With Lids?

Lids make give added functionally to your cups. Probably the first thing that comes to mind is that lids either limit or prevent spillage. Beyond that they turn your cup into a container.

Cups with lids turned container can be used for food storage in a refrigerator or cooler, to hold dry soups to be later filled with hot water for consumption, filled with water and frozen to be used in a cooler or, if you add food color, decorative ice blocks.

And the lids make excellent insect barriers where fruit juices or other attractive things draw the unwanted.

When it comes down to it, if you are going to get plastic cups, get the lids with them.

Do Plastic Cups Benefit The Environment?

That depends on the type plastic cups that you get. Single use plastic cups are NOT environmental friendly.  But reusable plastic cups are extremely beneficial.

Single use plastic cups, and if they have them, their lids and straws end up either in landfills or every other inconceivable place. Because they do not decompose, they cause more damage than paper cups.

Reusable plastic cups, their lids and reusable straws, on the other hand last, last and last some more. They are recyclable so they avoid the landfills for a long time.

So if you are concerned about the environment, buy and use reusable plastic cups.  And for the most useful type, get those with lids.

 

What Types Of Plastic Cups With Lids Are There?

Finally the lightweight, unbreakable, uncrushable, microwave and dishwasher safe reusable plastic cups are outdoor, and party oriented. They are used at kids parties, barbecues, backpacking, boating, patios, and the likes.

What Type Straws Are Best?

We recommend silicone or a thick plastic that can be cleaned.

Straws can be unhealthy if you do not pay attention to cleanliness. So when you have reusable straws, be sure to have a straw cleaning brush. And use it after each use.

Single use straws end up in the landfill.

Paper straws will degrade, but making them requires that trees be destroyed and removed from their work of removing carbon dioxide from the environment.

 Hard plastic cups are excellent for serving infants and others who are highly likely to drop the cup.

They are also excellent for use in RVs.
