Tar Heels, Ball Corporation Introduce Recyclable Aluminum Cup At Sporting Events

CHAPEL HILL – The University of North Carolina Department of Athletics and Ball Corporation announced today a partnership to bring Ball's infinitely recyclable aluminum cup to fans at Tar Heel sporting events, beginning with Saturday's men's basketball game at the Dean E. Smith Center against Boston College (Feb. 1, 6 p.m.).

The 20 oz. recyclable drink cups feature UNC and Coca-Cola logos and will serve soft drinks for $5 per cup at men's and women's basketball, baseball, men's and women's lacrosse and softball games as part of a pilot program. In addition to Ball, Carolina is partnering with Coca-Cola and its concessions vendor, ARAMARK, to activate this initiative.
