Die Geschichte von RedCups

The story of RedCups

The story of RedCups is really interesting and shows how a simple product can become a global phenomenon.

RedCups are those classic red plastic cups that you see at almost every party or event. They are often used for drinks such as beer or cocktails and are particularly popular at college parties and other celebrations. But how did they get their reputation as party essentials?

RedCups were originally produced by the Solo Cup Company in the 1970s. The company was founded in 1936 and initially specialized in paper cups. In the 1970s they began making plastic cups as well, and the red cup became one of their best sellers.

However, RedCups' breakthrough came in the 1990s, when they became an important element of college parties. They were cheap, practical and above all: cool. RedCups became a symbol of party culture and were suddenly everywhere.

Today, RedCups are popular not only at college parties, but also at many other events such as BBQs, garden parties or even weddings. They have developed into a worldwide phenomenon and are now an integral part of the party scene.

Now enough with the story of RedCups! Unfortunately, single-use plastic cups have a negative impact on the environment. Luckily there is now a solution: Red Cups made from reusable hard plastic from saufberg!


Reusable hard plastic is an excellent alternative to single-use plastic. It is durable, reusable and can be used for many years. Unlike single-use plastic, which is thrown away after one use, reusable hard plastic cups can be used many times. This means they produce less waste and are therefore more environmentally friendly.

But that's not all! Red Cups made from reusable hard plastic also offer many other advantages. For example, they are dishwasher safe and can therefore be easily cleaned and disinfected. This is particularly important at parties where many people use the cups and hygiene concerns may be at play.

The future of the Red Cups lies in reusable hard plastic. It is an environmentally friendly and practical alternative to single-use plastic cups. If we all pay a little more attention to protecting our environment, we can ensure that future generations will still be able to celebrate their parties with Red Cups.
