Celebration Packaging has achieved a remarkable milestone in sustainable packaging with the introduction of its double-wall hot drink cups, proudly crafted from bamboo fiber. Launched under the distinguished EnviroWare brand in June, these cups showcase a harmonious blend between utility and eco-consciousness. Crafted from bamboo fiber that boasts Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, these cups also boast an ingenious water-based lining that complements the cup's design.
The Papercycle Recyclability Assessment Method, a discerning evaluation framework, substantiates that these bamboo-fiber cups hold the prestigious Grade A certification for recyclability in paper mills.
"[...] Across the foodservice category, cafés and food-to-go outlets are seeking more sustainable solutions and with bans and taxes in place or on their way, consumers are turning away from single-use plastic products. We therefore believe that demand for sustainable EnviroWare products, such as our fully recyclable bamboo fibre cups, will continue to grow," commented Nick Burton, Celebration Packaging managing director.
