Onsite restaurants to provide reusable PP cups at K 2025
With a goal of establishing a sustainable solution that can be scaled for future events, K 2025 will introduce reusable cups for the first time. Borealis will support this initiative by providing high-performance modified foamable polypropylene (PP) specifically suited to reusable and recyclable cup applications.
The reusable cups are lightweight and durable. They are made with chemically recycled feedstock using OMV’s ReOil technology.
The material is from chemically recycled feedstock based on OMV’s ReOil technology. “ReOil is our proprietary chemical recycling technology that converts end-of-life plastics into circular feedstock for the production of chemicals, in particular new plastics,” said Maximilian Grasserbauer, OMV Senior Vice President Circular Economy.
The cups feature lightweight, material-efficient, reduced carbon footprint and recyclability, contributing to circular economy.
During K Fair, the cups will be available deposit-free at all restaurants and bars across the site. To support reuse, Messe Düsseldorf will install special collection containers. Visitors can return the cups to service points, place them in the collection containers, or take them home for personal reuse.
