Lincoln, RI- February 2008- Newport Coffee Traders, a specialty gourmet coffee roaster, announced today that it is now offering the only 100% compostable hot cup certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). Sourced from fully renewable resources the ecotainer™ cup uses a corn-based plastic inner lining, as opposed to the petrochemical plastic lining used in conventional hot cups. Customers will notice no difference in their enjoyment of coffee with this cup, but the environment will.
Each year 14.4 billion cups of coffee are served in disposable cups, enough to wrap around the earth 55 times end-to-end. The ecotainer™ is the only cup compostable in municipal and commercial composting facilities, making it an environmentally sensitive alternative to traditional disposable cups.
Newport Coffee Traders is continuously committed to providing delicious gourmet coffee and is dedicated to providing more socially and environmentally responsible products. Newport Coffee Traders is available by the cup at many food service locations throughout southern New England, for additional product information call 1-800-288-6272 or visit Newport Coffee Traders online at www.newportcoffeetraders.com.
