Containers
Vio® biodegradable* foam food containers hold everything from
soup to, well, nuts — not to mention hot and cold sides, appetizers and desserts.
When you serve to-go drinks, soup and sides in the world’s first biodegradable* foam cups and food containers, it tells customers you really do care what happens to the environment — end of story.
Vio was born in 2011, when WinCup® partnered with our sister company StyroChem® to develop the world’s first biodegradable* foam cup. This breakthrough product was then put through a rigorous, four-year-long testing regimen at an ASTM-accredited facility. Finally, we designed an entire family of Vio products that marry the traditional benefits of foam disposables (from lower cost to superior performance) with a new end-of-life story that makes everyone happy in the end.
Now available from most major foodservice distributors across the U.S.
From the moment they’re made, Vio foam cups go easier on the environment than comparable paper cups. Here’s how an average foam cup compares to the average polyethylene-coated paperboard cup with a corrugated sleeve.
