APP Group, based in Indonesia, has teamed up with Continental Cup to launch GC120, a range of compostable and recyclable cups for foodservice applications.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This initiative seeks to meet the rising global demand for sustainable solutions in the foodservice sector.<\/p>\n

The GC120 cups are produced using APP Group\u2019s Foopak Bio Natura, offering a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances-free and food-safe substitute for conventional plastic-lined cups.<\/p>\n

This advancement addresses both environmental issues and the changing regulatory landscape within the industry.<\/p>\n

The cups incorporate water-based barrier technology.<\/p>\n

This development aims to support a circular economy while ensuring high heat resistance and durability for a variety of foodservice uses.<\/p>\n

The move reportedly allows food and beverage businesses to transition from traditional plastic-coated cups without sacrificing product safety and effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Aimed at enterprises looking for responsible alternatives, the GC120 cups adhere to industry regulations and foster long-term sustainability objectives.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

APP senior vice-president and Industrial White head Kin Keung Christopher Wong said: \u201cAs sustainability standards evolve, businesses need packaging solutions that align with both regulatory changes and consumer expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith GC120, we\u2019re delivering a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative that helps brands reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, APP Group launched<\/a> Sinar Vanda Hi-Brite C1S, a sustainable paperboard packaging solution.<\/p>\n
