Lotte GRS Introduces 100% Recyclable 'Embossed PET Cup' at Lotteria

100% Recyclable Lotte GRS Embossed PET Cup

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Lotte GRS announced on the 4th that it will introduce PET cups with embossed logos that erase the brand logo on the surface of cold beverage product cups used at Lotte Ria stores nationwide and are 100% recyclable.

The existing PET cups had the problem that cups with printed logos could not be recycled during the crushing process after separate collection for recycling. To improve this and expand recycling convenience and reduce the use of chemicals, a joint investment was made in the mold production necessary for PET cup manufacturing.

Lotte GRS will replace iced drink cups with two types of 14oz and 20oz capacity cups using 100% recyclable embossed PET cups, and plans to further expand to brands such as Angel-in-us and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in the future.

As part of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management's eco-friendly policy, Lotte GRS plans to promote the goal of introducing more than 50% recycling of disposable products and more than 50% eco-friendly packaging by 2025, including the introduction of 'drinking lids' at Lotte Ria directly managed stores and Angel-in-us stores nationwide to reduce disposable plastic use in stores, and the introduction of these recyclable embossed PET cups.
