Oxo-Degradable PP Flexy Beer Tumbler Range - Clearance Stock RANGE REDUCED FOR CLEARANCE Specific event operations requiring degradable tableware solutions may consider oxo-degradable options where alternative materials are unsuitable. This clearance range offers UKCA-licensed beer service with oxo-degradable additive technology, though CupsDirect recommends mainstream recyclable alternatives for most applications. Construction Specifications Material Composition: Conventional polypropylene (PP) with Addiflex oxo-degradable additives designed to accelerate fragmentation Capacity Options: Multiple sizes including 12oz and 22oz options, with plain or eco-printed "naturelle" design variations Licensing Compliance: UKCA marked for legal commercial draught beer and cider service in UK markets Structural Design: Crack and shatter-resistant flexy construction with stepped base for efficient stacking and separation Manufacturing Standards: European production under controlled hygienic environments ensuring food-grade compliance Material Considerations Degradation Mechanism - Oxo-degradable additives accelerate plastic fragmentation into progressively smaller pieces rather than biological breakdown into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass Not Recyclable - Material composition incompatible with standard recycling infrastructure requiring disposal through general waste streams Limited Environmental Benefit - Fragmentation process creates microplastic particles rather than complete biodegradation, representing subjective environmental choice compared to recyclable or compostable alternatives Specific Application Suitability - Most appropriate for events specifically requiring degradable tableware where recyclable alternatives cannot be specified Structural Reliability - Flexy tumbler design provides crack and shatter resistance with efficient stackability for event operations Target Applications Specific Event Requirements: Events and venues with specific degradable tableware mandates where alternative materials are unsuitable. UKCA licensing enables commercial draught service compliance. Recommended Alternatives: For operations with access to standard recycling facilities, CupsDirect strongly recommends choosing rPET beer cups rather than oxo-degradable materials. rPET provides genuine mainstream recyclability through UK recycling infrastructure, supporting circular material economy versus fragmentation into microplastics. Please verify material suitability for your specific requirements before selection. Please Note: > Product is not recyclable through standard waste management systems. > Oxo-degradable technology fragments plastic into smaller particles rather than achieving biological breakdown. > Clearance stock - limited availability as range is being discontinued in favour of superior recyclable alternatives.
