DE SOTO, Kan., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chinet® brand has introduced two new products, both of which aim to help reduce waste — The Chinet Classic® recycled clear cups and Chinet Classic® compostable straws. Both products are now available at select Target stores and Target.com.

The Chinet Classic® recycled clear cups are made from 100% recycled material and are available in a pack of 32, 17oz. cups, which recycles the equivalent of 51 plastic water bottles. The Chinet Classic® compostable straws are commercially compostable while maintaining the feel and durability of traditional plastic straws. They are sold in packs of 50 straws, which are sold separately from the recycled cups.

"For nearly 100 years, the Chinet® brand has believed that when people get together, powerful things can take place. Together, we can make a difference in protecting our planet for future generations," said Jordan Everett, Product Manager for the Chinet® brand.
