At Arboloom, we believe packaging should serve a purpose beyond single use, contributing to a renewable and sustainable future. Our mission is to redefine the packaging industry by utilizing minimal material transformation, reducing the ecological footprint, and leveraging renewable resources.
By eliminating energy and water-intensive paper production, we create high-quality, sustainable packaging that meets the needs of businesses and consumers who care about the planet. We are committed to making eco-friendly packaging the new standard—one compostable, wood-based cup at a time.
Innovation for Sustainability - We challenge traditional packaging solutions by developing pioneering materials that balance functionality with environmental responsibility.
Circular Thinking - We design with the end of life in mind, ensuring our products are biodegradable, recyclable, and responsibly sourced to support a truly circular economy.
Collaboration for Change: We collaborate with businesses, suppliers, and consumers to accelerate the transition to a waste-free future.
We offer sustainability services to help individuals, businesses, and communities adopt an environmentally responsible future:
Whether you’re aiming to replace plastic and paper cups or discover sustainable branding opportunities, we’re here to assist you in making an impact—one cup at a time.
Our commitment to packaging drives us towards a circular economy where waste becomes a resource. Join us in shaping a cleaner, brighter future.
Minimal material transformation - process wood as close as possible to its natural cycle.
Wood is a CO2-neutral resource with great potential for a renewable future.
By using wood veneer instead of paper, we save energy during production.
UBP is a unit that measures the environmental impact of products in a holistic way. A variety of ecological factors, such as greenhouse gases, land and water consumption, or the use of pesticides, are taken into account.
Energy-intensive raw material use.
Wood has been one of the most important resources for humans for thousands of years. Only with industrialization were renewable raw materials replaced by resource-energy-intensive materials such as concrete, steel, oil, or plastic. While wood lost its importance as a material, the use of fossil resources led to a steep rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Innovations now necessitate a return to renewable raw materials and sustainable production.
High CO2 emissions in paper production.
The traditional process of manufacturing paper requires a significant amount of wood, energy, and water. Additionally, chemicals such as bleaching agents and binders are utilized, further polluting the environment. Consequently, two-thirds of the emissions from a paper cup originate in the paper manufacturing process. Each year, approximately 500 billion paper cups are produced.
From tree to cup. Our innovative process enables us to bypass the energy- and water-intensive paper production, allowing us to use wood more efficiently. The production of 1 kg of paper requires more than 2 kg of wood. Utilizing wood veneer decreases wood consumption, thereby helping to preserve forests.
Finally, using wood and biodegradable coatings, the cup can be composted, contributing to the formation of new humus.
Absolutely. The insulating properties of wood keep beverages hot longer without making the cup too hot to hold. The cups have passed food safety tests for both hot and cold drinks (Fraunhofer 2024).
Yes. Compared to paper cups, Arboloom wood cups:
1. Skip paper production processes, reducing energy, water, and chemical use, have a 2/3 lower footprint, and use 50% less wood than paper cups.
2. Have 3x lower CO2 emissions than plastic cups.
3. Use FSC-certified wood, ensuring responsible foresty.
4. Reduce plastic waste—avoiding 11 tons annually at Wankdorf, a 2/3 lower footprint, alone.
Arboloom cups carry certifications and environmental proofs:
1. FSC-certified birch wood.
2. Bio-based coating (Food approved, PFAS-ND, REACH-compliant).
3. EU Conformity Certification.Industrial compostability.
4. Food-safe ink branding.
