Do You Have Extra Promotional Tumblers?

Extra stainless steel tumblers are more common than you might think. Businesses and event organizers often have leftover items from overprinted promotional runs, branded merchandise, and giveaway products from trade shows or conferences. At the same time, individuals frequently bring home cups from corporate events, community festivals, and other gatherings—only to find they don’t need them. Because these tumblers are durable and reusable, they shouldn’t be left sitting in storage or thrown away when they’re no longer wanted.

Instead of letting them sit in storage—or worse, throwing them away—put them to good use.

How Stainless Steel Cups and Tumblers Are Recycled

When reuse isn’t possible, stainless steel is 100% recyclable. Recycling stainless steel reduces landfill waste, conserves natural resources, and supports a circular economy.

1. Cups are collected and sorted.

Items are gathered and separated from other materials to ensure they enter the correct recycling stream.

2. Lids and straws are removed.

Non-metal components (plastic, rubber and silicone) parts are separated so only clean metal is processed.

3. Stainless steel is melted.

The metal is processed, shredded, and melted down at high temperatures to prepare it for reuse.

4. New metal products are made.

The recycled steel is formed into new items, reducing the need for raw material extraction.
