There are numerous benefits to using polycarbonate drinking glasses in schools and nurseries – and the foremost of these is safety.
Glass presents a significant hazard when you’re trying to supervise large numbers of children – whereas polycarbonate plastic offers a simple and stress-free alternative.
Create a child-friendly environment
Schools and nurseries are inevitably lively places with lots of activity and noise. With the best will in the world, youngsters don’t always pay attention to what they’re doing, and when they’re handling drinking glasses, the risk of breakages is high.
By using polycarbonate plastic glasses in schools, staff can create a safer environment – instantly removing some of the stress of managing so many pupils. Polycarbonate is an impact-resistant material, eliminating the risk of cuts and grazes from shattered or broken glass – a hazard that can be highly dangerous and disruptive in a school setting.
Polycarbonate glasses are extremely durable, able to withstand rough handling and high and low temperatures – making them ideal for hot and cold drinks. They can be packed and stacked without the need for special care – taking up less space than normal glasses and enabling you to transport them easily without the risk of breakages.
Give children drinking glasses they love
Polycarbonate plastic is lighter than glass, making it easier and more comfortable for smaller hands. Our polycarbonate glasses come in a range of styles and colours that appeal to youngsters.
Another significant advantage of polycarbonate is that it’s a sustainable alternative to glass. Children are extremely aware of environmental issues and the importance of reducing single-use plastics.
Choosing reusable polycarbonate glasses can align with your educational efforts to raise awareness of environmental subjects and help your school to reduce its carbon footprint.
Bring colour into the schoolroom
Our polycarbonate drinking glasses come in a range of sizes and styles, appropriate for different age groups and suitable for a variety of drinks, including water, juice or milk.
This versatile set of six colourful polycarbonate plastic tumblers or these red octagon-shaped tumbler glasses are ideal for children.
And for the occasional sugary treat, these unbreakable reusable ice cream dishes or ice cream sundae glasses are perfect for serving desserts safely and hygienically.
They’re of high-quality construction, virtually unbreakable, stackable, recyclable – and fully dishwasher safe and microwave proof, withstanding temperatures from -40C to +120C.
Kids love the bright, bold colours – and teachers love them because they’re virtually unbreakable!
Save time and money
For schools and nurseries, polycarbonate plastic glasses are a cost-effective alternative to traditional glass. Because they’re tough enough to withstand boisterous handling and can be easily cleaned without fear of chipping or breaking, they don’t need to be replaced the way traditional glasses do.
This long lifespan cuts waste and cost as, in the long-term, polycarbonate is cheaper than constantly purchasing single-use or disposable cups. As a result, you save time and money.
