ButterflyCup is an all-in-one disposable drinks cup made entirely from paperboard that eliminates the need for plastic lids and straws.

It offers multiple benefits for consumers, beverage retailers, food service providers and the environment (compared to the current disposable cup offerings) including that it: 

• is easy to use,
• prevents splashes, leaks and drips,
• is cost competitive,
• is 100% compostable and the BioPBS range is 100% compostable and recyclable in a recycling facility, 
• reduces the number of stock items,
• reduces counter and storage space requirements, 
• reduces transport volumes,
• speeds the serving process,
• is environmentally friendly - bio-based, ethically sourced & plastic-free,

The ButterflyCup business model is to licence to reputable cup manufacturers globally. To date, they have three manufacturer licensees in China, Indonesia and South Korea. Market reaction is extremely positive with sales in several countries including Britain, Ireland, Germany, South Africa, Canada, USA, Israel and Greece.

ButterflyCup operates a 'continuous improvement' philosophy and recently filed an additional patent application for a significant design improvement (not yet disclosed) that further increases the structural strength, functionality, cost competitiveness and performance of ButterflyCup.

The ButterflyCup design will be adapted for (1) viscous food products such as soup or noodles, (2) solid food items such as fries or popcorn and (3) as a re-usable drinks container.

The optimal material for ButterflyCup is a barrier-free, composite-free paperboard (such as ISLA paperboard produced by Kotkamills, Finland). 

The minimum order quantity per SKU for own artwork is  50,000 pieces per cup size.
