Chobani, New Berlin, New York, has announced the launch of a paper cup for its yogurt products. The paper cup is part of the company’s efforts to reduce plastic use and put more sustainable packaging on shelves across America.

The container will be used with the company’s single-serve oat yogurt products. Chobani’s paper cup is 80 percent paperboard, made from responsibly sourced and renewable material. The cup has a thin plastic lining to maintain the quality of the product.

“We all have a role to play in protecting our planet,” says Hamdi Ulukaya, Chobani founder and CEO. “People have been asking for a paper cup, and we welcome this challenge to start reducing our plastic use and to spark a conversation about how we can drive change together.”

The company says it will continue exploring more sustainable packaging across its portfolio that will use less plastic and more paper.

“While this paper cup is a step in the right direction, it’s just the beginning,” Ulukaya says.

Chobani says the paper cup will be available in stores at the end of 2022.
