What exactly is the turtle logo that appears on plastic or paper hot cups? The turtle logo was introduced by the EU after they initiated the plastic ban in 2021.

The logo is added to our white and clear 100 plastic cups, red and blue plastic party cups, plastic champagne flutes, single wall and ripple wall hot cups. It is added to those cups as they are classed as ‘single use’, the logo is there to make the consumer aware they are purchasing a product either made of or containing plastic so they can make an informed choice before making their purchase.

Although the UK is no longer in the EU, we do supply customers in the EU market therefor it is important we follow the EU guidelines carefully.
