Can water cups be recycled, reprocessed, refurbished and sold?

I recently saw an article about second-hand water cups that were refurbished and re-entered the market for sale. Although I couldn’t find the article after two days of searching, the matter of refurbished water cups and re-entering the market for sale will definitely be noticed by many people. See, we, who have been working in the water cup industry here for several years, want to tell you, can water cups be refurbished? Do water glasses need to be refurbished? Which water glasses will be refurbished? Are the refurbished water cups sold on the market understood to have been refurbished and put on the market after use?

Friends, let us first determine whether the water glass will be refurbished?

Answer: The water glass will be so-called “refurbished”. So is it necessary to renovate the water cup? “Renovation” must be due to need. This need mainly refers to the fact that the production plan cannot meet the order quantity, and some stock water cups will be “refurbished”. Which water glasses will be refurbished? A water bottle that has been in stock for a long time. Are there any refurbished water cups for export on the market? have.

Are the refurbished water cups on the market “second-hand water cups” that are used and collected by people? no.

Which water glasses can be refurbished? Can water bottles made of all materials be refurbished? At present, what we know and have come into contact with are water cups made of metal, such as stainless steel water cups.

Next, let’s talk about what kind of water cups will be “refurbished”. Everyone noticed that the editor used a lot of quotation marks for refurbishment. What we want to express is that the “refurbishment” here is not the refurbishment that everyone thinks of, nor does it mean the water cups that everyone does not use. It is recycled and then enters the production plant again, made new through various processes and returned to the market again. First of all, I believe that none of you have seen anyone who specializes in recycling water cups. Secondly, the water cups that everyone uses are different in style and material. If you really want to recycle the used water cups and refurbish them again, the cost will be far higher. Far greater than producing a new water cup. And water cups have a service life, especially thermos cups. As the insulation function of thermos cups becomes weaker and weaker, it is impossible to achieve good insulation effects through factory “refurbishment” again.

Therefore, everyone can rest assured that regardless of the difficulty of recycling, the scale of recycling and the difficulty of production, no used second-hand water cups will be refurbished and put on the market again.

Which water glasses will be refurbished? This is also the first time that we have revealed industry secrets, and we ask industry experts not to spread the word, and there is no specific reference here. Take stainless steel water cups as an example. If the storage time is too long (often many years), the inner liner of the water cup will oxidize and darken. Secondly, some plastic parts and silicone parts will also age. So if you want to put these water cups on the market without being criticized by the market, , the seriously darkened inner liner will be polished or electrolyzed again to make it look new. Aged plastic parts and silicone will also be s

Another way is that the color of the sample of the stock product is different from the color of the urgent order. Due to the short production time given by the customer or the quantity purchased by the customer, the factory will remove the paint and polish the stock water cup and re-spray it to save cost and time. The colors that customers need are shipped, which is the refurbishment and replenishment in the industry.

Finally, as for whether water cups made of other materials, such as ceramics, glass, etc., will be refurbished, I can’t speak objectively because I haven’t had in-depth contact with them. However, after analysis, we still feel that it is impossible for water cups to be refurbished after use, even if they are refurbished. It is probably similar to the inventory replenishment of stainless steel water cups.
