Can disposable dishware like plastic utensils and cups made of paper, plastic or foam be recycled?
No. Plastic utensils, cups and foam (a.k.a. polystyrene foam) are materials not recycled at the University. Paper plates, cups and napkins cannot be recycled because of contact with food waste and also because the paper fibers are too soft to be recycled again. Disposable dishware is just that, disposable.
