The Bio Universal is Recyclable but it is special because unlike other plastics it breaks down much faster if it ends up in landfill or the ocean. Once disposed of, in a few years it becomes food for microbes leaving behind no microplastics, just natural remnant. The Pantone of the Lid and Tumbler is 7499C. The Universal Bio is microwave and top-rack dishwasher safe, BPA free and double-walled to keep drinks warmer for longer. UK manufactured.
