Ball Corporation has announced the availability of two new sizes of its infinitely recyclable Ball Aluminium Cup.

This increases opportunity for venues, concessionaires and more to offer consumers a full portfolio of sustainable cup options.

The Ball Aluminium Cup that is available for food service customers is now composed of 90% recycled content, making it the cup with the highest recycled content rate of any beverage packaging in its category.

The new 9-ounce and 12-ounce cup sizes, which are currently in use at select sports and entertainments venues, are also available for purchase via cupsales@ball.com. Both sizes are juice, wine, and cocktail friendly additions to Ball’s 16-ounce, 20-ounce and 24-ounce cup offerings.

The full portfolio of sizes provides customers the opportunity to serve a wide variety of beverages – from beer, cocktails, wine, soda, juice and more – to consumers in a more sustainable format.

“It has been inspiring to see continued excitement and growing demand for the Ball Aluminium Cup since we first introduced the product to consumers in 2019,” said Dan Fisher, president and CEO, Ball Corporation.

“As a company, we are relentlessly focused on advancing the circular economy. We believe that the expansion of our innovative aluminium cup will continue to drive meaningful change toward both helping our customers reach their sustainability goals and solving the packaging waste crisis.”

Emily Fong Mitchell, president and general manager, Ball Aluminium Cups said: “We are excited to expand the Ball Aluminium Cup portfolio and offer our venue and food service customers a full suite of sustainable beverage packaging solutions – from aluminium cans to bottles and cups,”

“At Ball, we’re committed to increasing access to the infinitely recyclable aluminium cup, which helps our customers meet growing consumer demand for truly sustainable products.”

Ball expanded the portfolio of its lightweight aluminium cups in response to growing customer and consumer preference toward sustainability. In fact, research finds that 85% of consumers have become more sustainable in their purchasing in recent years.

To meet the demand for circularity in sports and entertainment venues and to help reduce waste and strengthen recycling, Ball has introduced the new cup sizes in venues across the US, including Ball Arena, Red Rocks Amphitheater, SoFi Stadium and more.

All cup sizes, including the new 9-ounce and 12-ounce cups, are available for purchase in bulk directly from Ball, while additional packs, including the 9-ounce cup, are available on Amazon.
