JAKARTA, Indonesia<\/span><\/span>, June 11, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — As businesses seek more sustainable packaging solutions, APP Group is proud to collaborate with Continental Cup in launching GC120, a compostable, and recyclable cup line designed to meet growing global sustainability demands.<\/p>\n

Data from Vivreau stated that consumer attitudes toward single-use plastics are shifting, with 50% of Americans feeling guilty when purchasing plastic water bottles. This sentiment is even stronger among younger consumers, with 61% of those aged 18 to 34 expressing concern over their plastic consumption. The launch of GC120 cups directly addresses this growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives, offering businesses a PFAS-free, food-safe solution that aligns with both regulatory changes and consumer expectations.<\/p>\n

Manufactured using APP Group’s Foopak Bio Natura, GC120 cups provide a PFAS-free, food-safe alternative to conventional plastic-lined cups, addressing both environmental concerns and regulatory requirements. The water-based barrier technology ensures these cups are compostable and recyclable, supporting a circular economy while maintaining high heat resistance and durability for foodservice applications.<\/p>\n

“As sustainability standards evolve, businesses need packaging solutions that align with both regulatory changes and consumer expectations,” said Kin Keung Christopher Wong, SVP & Global Business Unit Head, Industrial White for APP. “With GC120, we’re delivering a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative that helps brands reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing quality.”<\/p>\n

The GC120 line is a key step in APP Group’s ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation, ensuring that food and beverage providers can transition away from traditional plastic-coated cups while maintaining product safety and performance. These cups are designed for businesses seeking practical, responsible alternatives that comply with industry regulations and support long-term sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

GC120 was first introduced at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show, where industry leaders recognized its potential to reshape foodservice packaging by offering a viable, plastic-free solution at scale.<\/p>\n
