Finland’s Huhtamaki Foodservice Nordic has unveiled a single-use paperboard hot cup range with the Nordic Ecolabel, the official Ecolabel for the Nordic countries.
The new range has been launched after Huhtamaki received approval to use the Nordic Ecolabel’s Swan logo on the cups that are targeted for use in cafés, restaurants and catering services.

By GlobalData“The Nordic Ecolabel is a well-known and respected eco-label and receiving it shows that we make concrete efforts in the field of sustainable development.
In order to obtain the Nordic Ecolabel criteria, products must feature at least 90% renewable raw materials, as well as recyclable or compostable components, and contain only a limited amount of chemicals.
Energy consumption and emissions during production are also considered before the Nordic Ecolabel status can be added.
Huhtamaki currently provides packaging solutions to distributors and retailers, as well as foodservice operators and the food and beverage industry in the Nordic and Baltic countries.
