Remove plastic from the waste stream – By using a Vanish™ pint ice cream container, for example, you remove 2.6 pounds of plastic from the waste stream per 1,000 cups compared to our double-poly version regardless of how they’re composted, recycled or disposed of. A sustainable benefit built into the cup!

* Plastic-Free: Product & Print contains trace amounts of non-intentionally added polymers but still meets the free of requirements from the FTC Green Guidelines. Since these cups are not plastic coated, you remove, for example, 2.6 pounds of plastic from the waste stream per 1000 pint ice cream cups compared to our double-poly version regardless of how they’re composted, recycled, or disposed of. A sustainable benefit built into the cup.
** Compostability: BioNatura coated paper passed testing by Din Certco for home & industrial compostability. However, due to the rapidly changing regulatory landscape on a local and national basis and the FTC Green Guidelines, claims related to compostability would require testing of the specific containers and use along with verification of the composting capability and regulatory guidelines of the location in which the container or cup will be disposed.

Intertek testing to the standard toxics in packaging clearing house model legislation - US TPCH - PFAS content found no detectable PFAS in BioNatura.
Compostability Testing (PDF) This testing is verifying the home and industrial compostability of the paperboard. Normec Tests including: material characteristics, Disintegration under industrial and home composting conditions, and Barley/Cress/Earthworm Ecotoxicity testing. ISEGA Certificate of Compliance that paperboard meets EN 13432:2000-12 & NF T51-800:2015 and is organically recoverable through industrial and home composting. Visstun has ongoing testing to determine the disintegration and toxicity including how our inks and coating perform in the finished product.
