MOOYAH has switched to U.S.-made paper cups for its shakes. They work fine, she said, but don’t show off the creamy beauty of blended ice cream the way clear plastic does.The Plastics Industry Association has forecast a 3.1% increase in the output of plastic products, including cups. Perc Pineda, the trade group’s chief economist, said the worker shortage has hampered plastics plants.
