This initiative seeks to meet the rising global demand for sustainable solutions in the foodservice sector.

The GC120 cups are produced using APP Group’s Foopak Bio Natura, offering a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances-free and food-safe substitute for conventional plastic-lined cups.

This advancement addresses both environmental issues and the changing regulatory landscape within the industry.

The cups incorporate water-based barrier technology.

This development aims to support a circular economy while ensuring high heat resistance and durability for a variety of foodservice uses.

The move reportedly allows food and beverage businesses to transition from traditional plastic-coated cups without sacrificing product safety and effectiveness.

Aimed at enterprises looking for responsible alternatives, the GC120 cups adhere to industry regulations and foster long-term sustainability objectives.

GC120 was initially presented at the National Restaurant Association Show, and its capacity to transform foodservice packaging by offering a scalable, plastic-free option was widely acknowledged, the company said.

APP senior vice-president and Industrial White head Kin Keung Christopher Wong said: “As sustainability standards evolve, businesses need packaging solutions that align with both regulatory changes and consumer expectations.

“With GC120, we’re delivering a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative that helps brands reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing quality.”

Last month, APP Group launched Sinar Vanda Hi-Brite C1S, a sustainable paperboard packaging solution.
