Key Benefits

100% Compostable & Biodegradable

Certified Premium Birch Wood

Crafted from sustainably sourced birch veneer. Our cups use 50% less wood than equivalent paper cups while delivering the same strength and durability.

Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint

Independent Life Cycle Assessments show that our cups generate 3× fewer CO₂ emissions than plastic cups. They even offer a 19% CO₂ savings when used for energy recovery vs. composting. By choosing Arboloom, you significantly reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.

Certified Premium Birch Wood

The natural wood veneer gives a warm, upscale look and feel. A clear bio‑based coating (no glue, no fossil materials) provides leak-proof strength.

Proven Impact: BSC Young Boys Case Study

At Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium (BSC Young Boys’ home), switching to our wood cups has delivered a huge environmental win.

By replacing nearly one million disposable cups a season, Arboloom’s solution can avoid almost 11 tonnes of plastic waste per year and cut 39.1 tonnes of CO₂ annually. That’s the equivalent of removing dozens of trash bins of plastic and the emissions from ~8 cars driving for a year. The used cups are even recycled into energy to heat local homes. This success shows how premium events can be waste-free without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
