At an old job, we kept one around for the times when we needed one and didn’t have one. Often one of us would go down the street to get lunch. We brought the same beverage holder to carry the drinks. I don’t think they provided them there.

If you have one to reuse, then that probably means you got it in order to use it for it’s intended use, so it is likely that you could use it for what it was made for again. Like reusable coffee mugs, a reusable coffee mug holder will bring you delicious coffee without the trash.

If it should fail with it’s cheap durability, consider investing in a long lasting plastic cup carrier instead of getting another paper one to tear.

In the meantime, it could be used as coasters on your fine coffeetable, or a carrier and platform for plant planters made from those paper coffee cups with the holes in the bottom.

If you go camping and need to start a fire, i bet these would make good kindling.

We keep one in the glove compartment so if we go through a fast food drive thru, we ask them to give us the cups without a new holder and just put it in the spare we keep.

Hello!!

yes recycling is very important and very necessary today.Some useful pointers here.

Well, for art activities they are great to hold cups of paint. This way the cups don’t get knocked over by eager artists. You could also flip it over and push knobs or other such things through the bottom for spray painting.

I know if there was enough of them, those who are making an at home studio (radio,podcasts etc.) they do make good sound proofing.

These actually make GREAT firestarters & you can do the same thing with a cardboard egg carton. Stuff the cups with dryer lint. When they are full, pour some leftover candle wax so it soaks into the lint. Works like a charm to start a fire!
