In 2021, Arboloom stood among Switzerland’s most innovative projects at the Prix Suisse Award, an event celebrating excellence in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and groundbreaking ideas. As a spin-off from Creaholic, Arboloom’s mission to create sustainable wood veneer cups was showcased nationally, reaffirming our commitment to a circular future. This case study reflects that transformative moment, where our passion for environmental impact met public recognition.
Arboloom was born from a simple yet powerful question: "How can we drink without draining the planet?"
Our answer? Wood veneer cups—crafted from thin sheets of sustainably sourced wood, laminated with biodegradable bioplastics, and designed to be 100% compostable. These aren’t just cups; they’re symbols of what’s possible when innovation meets ecological responsibility.
Why It Matters:
The Prix Suisse Award, organized by Initiative Schweiz, is more than an accolade. It’s a celebration of Swiss ingenuity, honoring projects that inspire change and challenge the status quo. Sponsored by F.G. Pfister Holding AG and presented by prominent Swiss figures like Federal President Guy Parmelin, the award spotlights projects that push boundaries in sustainability, technology, and social impact.
In 2021, while entrepreneur Peter Spuhler took home the main prize, Arboloom’s presentation captured the audience's attention as a shining example of Switzerland’s commitment to ecological innovation.
At the award ceremony in Bern, we didn’t just showcase a product—we told a story:
Key Highlights:
While we didn’t walk away with the trophy, the impact of our participation was profound:
The Prix Suisse Award taught us that innovation isn’t just about products—it’s about people. The entrepreneurs, the supporters, the skeptics who challenge us to think deeper, and the communities that believe in a sustainable future.
"Arboloom is proof that sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s the future. Their work embodies the Swiss spirit of innovation with a global impact."— Stefan Linder, Head of Initiative Schweiz
The journey didn’t end at the Prix Suisse—it began anew. Today, Arboloom continues to push the boundaries of sustainable packaging, driven by the same passion that brought us to that stage in Bern.
