Huhtamaki’s eco-friendly BioWare paper hot cups have won PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) Chain of Custody certification.
It means that the paperboard material from which the disposable cups are made can be traced back to sustainable forest management schemes that comply with environmental, economic and social standards.
The certification allows Huhtamaki to use the PEFC logo as part of the design of its BioWare cups, while customers who opt for bespoke custom prints can use the logo as part of their branding too.
Available in a choice of sizes, BioWare cups can be collected from workplaces by the Save a Cup scheme and composted in industrial facilities for use in farming and horticulture.
“We’re delighted that our UK site has been accredited for PEFC – a great positive statement to highlight on our BioWare cups and a process which we’;; be sure to roll out across our other product ranges too,” commented Catherine Tipper, head of business excellence at Huhtamaki.
