SCOOP: COLOMBIER ECOBARRIER MAKES A COOL ICE-CREAM TUB

EcoBarrier cup

Colombier EcoBarrier cup board is developing a taste for ice-cream.

Since the product launch in 2022, over 100 million ice creams have been served in the recyclable EcoBarrier tubs. It’s safe to say, we’re serving up sustainable success.

In collaboration with a longstanding partner, Colombier took on the challenge of tackling traditional plastic lined containers that are difficult to recycle. This partnership led to the eco-friendly tubs that are πœπ¨π¦π©π¨π¬π­πšπ›π₯𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜π₯πšπ›π₯𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩π₯𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐒𝐜-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞

Additionally, an independent life cycle assessment (LCA) of the EcoBarrier material shows a significant decrease in CO2e emissions for a comparable ecosystem.

This breakthrough not only aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility, but also stands testament to the power of partnering up with others in the value chain. 🀝

How did we do it? ⬇️

Finding the sweet spot

The idea was to simply replace plastic-lined cup board with Colombier EcoBarrier and run it on our partners existing tub converting machines.

After vigorous testing by our dedicated product development team, coupled with transparent cooperation with our partners, the ingredients for creating the sweet spot were met.

Colombier created and delivered this truly exceptional solution.

Together we work towards a greener, more sustainable future, whilst ensuring our eco-friendly ice cream tubs do not leave a bad aftertaste.
