Frugalpac extends range with introduction of the Frugal Lid

Manufacturer of the UK’s first fully recyclable coffee cup made of recycled paper, Frugalpac, has revealed its full range, including an innovative pulp molded alternative to plastic lids, the Frugal Lid, as well as an eye-catching new ‘ivy’ design for its Frugal Cup.

Seven months after large-scale production of the Frugal Cup began, Frugalpac has extended its sustainable offering in a move away from conventional polystyrene lids, with the newly available Frugal Lid. This pulp molded paper lid utilises dry-in-place technology and Forest Stewardship Council wood fibre to achieve a consistent high-quality pressed paper lid.

Frugalpac’s cup range now features four Frugalpac-branded styles. The latest ‘ivy’ design reflects the brand’s eco-credentials, joining the vibrant ‘dotty’ and limited-edition bespoke design by Frugalpac ambassador broadcaster Gemma Cairney. Bespoke designs can also be commissioned through an in-house printing process.

Made from recycled paperboard, with no waterproofing chemicals, the Frugal Cup’s food-grade liner separates easily during the standard recycling process. The paperboard and liner can then be recycled through separate streams which means that the cup can be disposed of in any paper recycling bin at home, on the street, in the coffee shop or office.

George Rumble, sales manager of Frugalpac commented: “In response to customer demand, we have developed a sustainable lid that’s fitting with the ethos of our recycled-paper cups. The lids look great, offering a premium finish that really complements the freshly designed range. The range of designs and the option to print bespoke branding offers operators the chance to put their own stamp on the Frugal Cup and fly the sustainable, recyclable flag. We’re excited to see the variety of cups and lids in coffee shops around the country!”

The ­Frugalpac range of cups and lids are available in three sizes – 8oz, 12oz and 16oz – to caterer for all operators’ needs, and are now available to order online at www.frugalpac.com/shop.
