Huhtamaki's range of single-use BioWare cups, plates, containers and cutlery is now being completed with bio-coated paper cups for hot and cold drinks.
Huhtamaki has added bio-coated paper cups to its BioWare product family to meet the demand amongst the public sector, corporate world and the public as a whole for more sustainable products. Launched back in 2004, all BioWare products are completely compostable. The BioWare paper cup range is the first complete bio-coated paper hot and cold cup range launched in Europe. The bio-coating allows the paper cups to be composted in industrial composting facilities. Fibers for the paper cups come from sustainably managed forests and can be traced back to their origin. The cartonboard material has Forestry Stewardship Council's (FSC) chain of custody certificate.
BioWare paper cups are as strong and rigid as conventional Huhtamaki heavy board cups. The complete range of hot and cold cups include cup sizes from 100ml to 500ml, making this range suitable for different beverages and drink sizes. Excellent customized printing and promotional options, but also attractive BioWare stock design with "compostable" printing, are available.
Designed to fulfill the needs of various foodservice operators, BioWare products work in uses ranging from outdoor festivals and mass events to catering and daily food and beverage service. By using BioWare, restaurants and event organizers can combine the waste stream for packaging and food.
BioWare
BioWare is a range of packaging products that are primarily made of renewable plant materials. All BioWare products are certified in accordance with EN13432, the European norm for compostability of packaging. When disposed of in industrial composting conditions, BioWare products compost into water, carbon dioxide and organic material. The entire chain, from raw material input to production and disposal, has been designed to have a minimal impact on the environment.
