Green Rock Group, based in Wales, have worked closely with Delipac to create a range of unique Next Gen, paper cups that can give discerning consumers a genuine, plastic-free alternative that can also be easily composted or recycled.

The new Ringtons cups will be available from 2024 in 4oz, 8oz, 12oz and a 16oz version. Made from a unique paperboard called Delipac they boast impressive environmental and sustainability credentials – including:

  1. Made in Britain
  2. Certified Plastic-Free
  3. Certified Home Compostable
  4. Certified Fully Recyclable
  5. Certified PFAS free

“We’re delighted to be supporting Ringtons on their disposable cups. They have a great reputation and as the coffee of choice for lots of major customers we are proud to be a partner.”

“We have enjoyed working closely with them on this project and realised how many common values we share”, Mr. Granville continued. “As their cup suppliers, we know we are partnering with many businesses in the UK and to see companies with the History of Ringtons committed to doing what’s right for their customers is fantastic. We’re looking forward to growing together”.

Director of Ringtons for Business, Stephen Drysdale, also spoke of his pride in the partnership:

I knew from the moment I set foot in the Greenrock premises, that they were the right partner for us. Their factory was immaculate, the sustainability credentials were very impressive, and their printing options were great. They were taking care of their supply chain with the same level of detail that we try to at Ringtons when sourcing our tea and coffee – which isn’t something I can say too often

With the percentage of consumers demanding sustainable packaging rising to 81%, sustainability, take a step in the right direction by offering a Ringtons Disposable Cup.
