Shelf Stable Cups

Footprint’s shelf stable cups are designed to be fully recyclable and compostable

The cups are now in use or being evaluated by a number of household names and industry leaders including Walmart, Quality Pasta, Kraft and Annie’s.

The breakthrough technology allows Footprint to eliminate the need for brands to label their containers with a separate plastic wrapper, which typically then renders the entire package landfill waste.

Footprint Brings Sustainable Innovation to Convenient Microwavable Cups

Footprint’s team of engineers and scientists spent two years developing a plant-based fiber alternative that can be produced at scale.
