All set for CO₂-neutral packaging
In a sustainable and circular way
From raw materials to the moment you put the cup to your lips for the first sip of coffee, every step is designed to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. By producing locally in the Netherlands with FSC® certified cardboard and reducing transport emissions, we support reshoring with short supply chains and reliable EU-compliant quality. With years of experience in printing and packaging, we create solutions that are sustainable today and future-proof for tomorrow.
It starts with the cardboard
We attach great importance to the origin and the way in which our cardboard is made. With every step we take, we want nature to be respected and preserved. The cardboard we use comes from Scandinavia and is produced under European guidelines and FSC® (C016391) certified. Ask about our FSC-certified printed products
Did you know our cardboard is made from long paper fibers, making every product extra strong? That means bowls, cups or buckets are sturdy enough to reuse several times before recycling.
01. Responsible forestry (FSC)
The wood we use for our cardboard comes from forests in Sweden and Finland that are controlled by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). Our certificate number is SCS-COC-000652-ALG. With our certification we contribute to the conservation of forests worldwide.
02. Conservation of nature
For every tree harvested, our supplier plants 2 or even 3 new trees. This helps restore forests, preventing deforestation. It also empowers forest owners to sustainably manage their land, avoiding conversion to palm oil, soy, or livestock farming areas.
03. Local production
Production takes place in our own factory in the Netherlands. By shipping our sustainable food packaging from here, the kilometers are limited and so is our CO₂ footprint. Unlike the 90% of cups still produced in Asia, our local approach keeps supply chains short, reliable and EU-compliant.
You’re all set with our local, sustainable production
At CUPSZ we have the entire production process in our own hands. From printing your eco-friendly food packaging on our presses to folding and finishing the products – in short: we arrange everything!
Order locally!
Unlike the majority of cups still produced in Asia, CUPSZ manufactures locally in the Netherlands. That means fewer transport kilometers, a much lower CO₂ footprint and shorter, more reliable supply chains. Local production also ensures compliance with EU regulations, predictable delivery schedules and fast flexibility when volumes change. So with CUPSZ, you’re all set for packaging that’s sustainable, reliable and close to home.
Sustainable production
At CUPSZ, we manage the entire production process in-house: from printing to folding and finishing. Our facility is partly powered by 800 solar panels and optimized to minimize waste. All paper residues are recycled, and every step is designed to reduce energy use.
What impact do recyclable coffee cups have compared to alternatives?
Give your printed products a second life
Our cups contain less then 5% PE, and are very easy to recycle. The PE is a thin film layer (coating) and can therefore be easily removed from the cardboard. Both the PE and the cardboard can then be reused as a raw material.
Did you know ? When a paper cup is recycled, greenhouse gas emissions drop from 8.4 kg CO2eq./1000 cups to 3.8g CO2eq./1000 cups. This is 50% of the emissions from washing a reusable cup in an efficient home dishwasher with a full load.
