Reusable plastic cava glasses Green Forest

Spanish supermarket, Mercadona, has repackaged single-use plastic cava glasses as reusable and covered them in ‘Bosque Verde’ (Green Forest) branding. These glasses are also made of polystyrene, a type of plastic which is practically impossible to recycle, despite the misleading ‘chasing arrows’ symbols. They are identical in design to single-use plastic glasses and the eco-branding is used here purely as a marketing tactic.
