Sustainability
Less plastic. More progress.
At Transcend, sustainability isn’t a headline - it’s the reason we exist. Every product we make is designed to reduce waste, replace plastic, and meet the environmental standards shaping the future of foodservice packaging.
Our approach is hands-on, not high-horse. We work closely with customers to navigate legislation, improve material choices, and balance environmental impact with commercial sense. Whether it’s replacing PE-lined cups or developing reusable formats, we don’t just talk about sustainability. We build it.
Every Claim, Certified
No greenwash. Just proof.
We back every claim with third-party testing and globally recognised certification. From compostability and recyclability to food contact and forest stewardship, we ensure our products meet the highest possible standards - and we keep that proof ready for every customer.
We build packaging that reflects your values.
Sustainability isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we work closely with foodservice operators, distributors, and brand owners to ensure the packaging they choose delivers not just environmental credibility - but also commercial performance.
We help our customers:
-
Remove problematic plastics from their ranges
-
Replace PE and PLA coatings with fibre-first alternatives
-
Use recycled or chain of custody certified board in cups, lids, and trays
-
Track and report environmental savings by SKU, product line or site
-
Design packaging that performs from factory floor to customer hand
Designed Around Your Impact
Our Progress, Shared
It’s not just what we make. It’s how we make it.
We're committed to making measurable changes in our own business, not just for our customers.
So far, we’ve:
-
Replaced over 8 billion plastic straws
-
Eliminated plastic lids across multiple QSR ranges
-
Developed one of the world’s first plastic-free, recyclable coffee cups (Rubicon Cup)
-
Partnered with like-minded innovators like Xampla, Qwarzo™, and Merchr
-
Reduced emissions by sourcing and producing in Europe, not Asia
Our materials, coatings, and processes are constantly improving. Because sustainability isn’t staticit’s a commitment to keep doing better.
