Chobani to launch paper cups for yogurt alternatives
With this launch, Chobani is calling for greater paper recycling capabilities in the United States.
Chobani LLC, New York, said it is taking an important step toward a more sustainable future, announcing the planned launch of a paper cup for its yogurt alternatives. The paper cup marks a milestone in the company’s efforts to reduce plastic use and put more sustainable packaging on shelves across America.
Chobani’s recent new product innovations — “oatmilk,” cold brew coffee and coffee creamers — already come in paper-based packaging that is recyclable. After two years of development, the company said it is also moving its oat-based yogurt alternative into a paper-based cup. It also will continue to explore more sustainable packaging across its portfolio that will use less plastic and more paper.
