The EnviroWare bamboo fibre double-wall hot drink cups are made from Forest Stewardship Council certified bamboo fibre – with an aqueous-based lining. The EnviroWare Leaf 2 paper hot drink cups are made from FSC certified material with a plant-based lining.
Nick Burton, managing director of Celebration Packaging, said: “When we created the EnviroWare brand, over 17 years ago, our declared mission was to seek out more sustainable packaging solutions.
“We have always believed that when sourcing sustainable packaging, the provenance of the raw materials is paramount – but ensuring that it can be properly disposed of at its end-of-life is equally important. Obtaining certification to prove that our products are 100% recyclable is therefore crucial.”
Earlier this year Celebration Packaging conducted research looking at consumer understanding of logos and terminology used for disposable foodservice packaging.
The survey showed that 68% of consumers think that it is very or extremely important that food and drink packaging is certified recyclable. Over three fifths (61%) said that information on packaging is what they rely on the most to keep them informed about its correct disposal, underwriting the importance of it being properly certified.
Burton added: “If foodservice operators are looking to improve their sustainability credentials, they need to work with a consultative supplier to ensure that they're choosing the right packaging – that is functional, fit for purpose, popular with consumers and above all, sustainable.”
