Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya called this latest innovation 'a step in the right direction.'
On Thursday, Chobani announced that its single-serve Oat Blend yogurts will be shedding their plastic packaging in favor of paper cups as part of the brand's efforts to be more sustainable. The company's other yogurt offerings will remain in the same plastic cup, at least for the immediate future.
The paper cup was several years in the making and it's constructed out of 80% paperboard made from responsibly sourced and renewable material, according to the company. The packaging isn't entirely paper — it has a thin plastic lining to maintain product quality — but Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya said the brand is committed to creating even more sustainable packaging for the rest of its products as time goes on.
Tiffany Legendre, assistant professor at the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston, agreed that changes to the country's recycling system will be necessary for packaging innovations such as Chobani's paper cups to make a lasting impact since they still contain a bit of plastic.
"The paperboard material will degrade, but the plastic lining will not, unless it is made of nature-derived plastics or is explicitly labeled as compostable," Krishnamoorti said.
