Roughly 600,000 tons of paper beverage cups are used each year in the United States, and far too much of this material ends up in landfills. Now, South Dakota-based materials recovery facility Millennium Recycling, Inc. has added paper cups to its recycling list, thanks to a partnership with the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI).
“We are committed to giving our customers in Sioux Falls, Yankton, Huron, southwest Minnesota and beyond the opportunity to provide a new life for recycled cups—not just send them to the landfill,” said Shannon Dwire, president of Millennium Recycling, in a statement.
