PepsiCo has begun offering five options of recyclable and compostable cups to foodservice customers in the U.S. through company-owned and independent bottler distribution systems. The new offerings consist of fully recyclable clear plastic cups, including an rPET cup containing 20% post-consumer recycled content, as well as compostable paper cups and wax cups made with plant-based materials sourced from sustainably managed forests. The fountain-cup portfolio mix is said by PepsiCo to empower foodservice customers—such as restaurants, stadiums, and theme parks, and colleges and universities—to select the right green cup options based on locally available recycling and composting disposal facilities.

The Pepsi-branded cups display green imagery and communicate the environmental benefit, stating, "Wow, Our Cups are Fully Recyclable," or a similar message respective to the materials used. The cups also encourage consumers to visit Earth911.com for information on how to properly dispose of materials in their local communities.
