Sustainable food packaging solutions provider Huhtamaki has introduced a new range of compostable ice-cream cups.<\/p>\n

The cups are designed to be compostable both in home settings and industrially, as well as recyclable, providing a viable alternative for the ice-cream market.<\/p>\n

They are made from certified paperboard that is responsibly sourced and features a biobased material coating, which reduces reliance on fossil-based plastics, maintaining plastic content below 10%.<\/p>\n

The new cups are now available for purchase, offering a sustainable option that does not compromise on quality or performance, according to the company.<\/p>\n

Huhtamaki stated that this initiative is part of its strategy to promote sustainability and assist customers in minimising their environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Huhtamaki foodservice packaging president Fredrik Davidsson said: \u201cOur new ice-cream cups demonstrate Huhtamaki\u2019s expertise in paperboard and barrier technologies, as well as our dedication to sustainable innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to offer a product that not only meets the highest environmental standards but also delivers the high quality our customers expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2025, Huhtamaki acquired Zellwin Farms<\/a>, a US-based producer of moulded fibre packaging, known for its recycled paper egg cartons and trays.<\/p>\n

With over 20 years of experience, Zellwin Farms serves clients in the Southeastern US from its single manufacturing site. Its products use recycled paper materials collected from the local area.<\/p>\n

Huhtamaki provides sustainable packaging solutions for food, beverages, and personal care products.<\/p>\n

The company employs approximately 18,000 staff members across 36 countries and 101 locations. It reported net sales of \u20ac4.1bn ($4.7bn) in 2024.<\/p>\n
