Chobani says its new paper cup marks a milestone in its efforts to reduce plastic use and put more sustainable packaging on shelves across America.

Chobani’s new product innovations—oatmilk, cold brew coffee, and coffee creamers—already come in paper-based packaging that is recyclable. After two years of development, the brand moved its oat yogurt into a paper-based cup. But the company says it won’t stop there—it will continue exploring more sustainable packaging across its portfolio that will use less plastic and more paper.

“We all have a role to play in protecting our planet,” says Chobani Founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya. “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.”

Chobani’s paper cup is 80% paperboard, made from responsibly sourced and renewable materials. The cup has a thin plastic lining to maintain the quality of the product.
