The advanced construction of the board provides a lower weight than usual, which helps cut back on raw materials and spare the environment. By selecting the sugarcane-based PE-Green coating packages made of Cupforma Ice can be made from 100% renewable raw materials.
While a typical 50cl ice cream package is made of 350 g/m2 board, the new Cupforma Ice will make it possible to use 290 g/m2 board without compromising the packaging performance. Such a weight reduction generates savings for all companies throughout the supply chain.
“A round cup shape is a powerful brand builder in the ice cream business as some of the world’s leading brands have shown us. Now customers can choose the new Cupforma Ice and make their packages more sustainable. Paperboard cups for ice cream packaging look great and are easy to open and close, unlike plastic containers which often hurt your fingers,” says Jaana Keskitalo, segment development manager for fast food at Stora Enso.
Paperboard packages are recyclable. Packages made from Cupforma Ice with PE-Green coating can also be recycled with other fibre-based cartons. The coating is made from sugarcane, which means that none of the raw materials come from fossil sources. Cupforma Ice is also suitable for packaging other frozen foods.
