Ball’s pilot program, which started in 2019 to debut recyclable cups at select retailers, restaurants, and major sports and entertainment venues, prompted the expansion of the Ball Aluminum Cup™ to major retailers in all 50 states across the U.S, at 18,000 food, drug and mass retailers, including Kroger, Target, Albertsons, CVS and others.
Ball developed the aluminum cup over the past several years in response to growing customer and consumer demand for sustainability, and the pilot program included major venues such as Ball Arena in Denver, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It is designed to be used at home and in other areas where disposable plastic cups are common. "As a company, we are relentlessly focused on enabling the circular economy and finding new ways to help solve the packaging waste crisis with aluminum beverage packaging,” said President Dan Fisher, “We look forward to working with our retail partners to continue advancing this mission."
