Describing sustainability is not as simple as it seems. To determine if products are sustainable, you can look at several things. Looking at sustainability some companies fully focus on Co2 emission and others on recyclability or renewable raw material. GKB believes that all these things are environmentally friendly and that’s why we let our customers choose which (combined) options they prefer. Therefore, we would like to inform the possibilities GKB can offer.

In short, paper cups are made out of two main components: a paper fiber and a coating. GKB produces cups with a PLA or PE coating, but also leads the way when it comes to PE-free production. We produce cups with a water-based coating that have the Flustix plastic free certificate. The Flustix certificate is given to products that meet the strict requirements of Din Certco Flustix. With the SUPD (Single use Plastic directive) in place GKB is focusing more on solutions beneficial to this scope such as durability, plastic free, re use and recycling. This all within the high-quality standard GKB stands for. The advantage of our clients would clearly be: Having a great supply of high quality (durable) cups and a good partner in future (global) chances.
