Biodegradable Molded Pulp Ice Cream Cup

Our biodegradable molded pulp ice cream cup is made from 100% natural plant fiber pulp, formed through a one-piece hot-press molding process under food-grade standards. The molded fiber cup combines the natural texture of paper pulp with excellent oil-proof and waterproof performance, with optional biodegradable coating for enhanced barrier protection. Fully compostable under industrial conditions, it serves as the ideal eco-friendly paper pulp packaging alternative to traditional plastic ice cream cups.

product details

1. Material & Process

Crafted from natural wood pulp and bamboo fiber, our molded pulp ice cream cup is manufactured through high-precision pulp molding — a one-piece hot-press forming process that creates a seamless, joint-free cup body with superior structural strength and smooth edges.

Made from 100% pure natural fiber pulp with zero plastic content, our molded fiber cups are produced in a food-grade facility. The paper pulp surface can be treated with a PLA biodegradable film coating or water-based barrier coating to further enhance oil-proof and waterproof performance, making it ideal for frozen dairy products and oily cold desserts.

2. Performance

The molded pulp cup withstands temperatures as low as -20°C without cracking or deformation during extended freezing. Its excellent grease and moisture resistance prevents oil and water penetration, keeping the outer surface dry and clean to the touch. The natural microporous structure of paper pulp packaging allows for significantly improved barrier performance after coating, while retaining the authentic fiber texture and tactile feel.

3. Customization

We support custom pulp molding tooling development based on client product dimensions and capacity requirements. The cup surface accepts high-quality printing for brand logos and designs with excellent ink adhesion and color reproduction. Available in 4oz to 16oz capacities to accommodate various ice cream product specifications.

4. Eco-Friendly Attributes

Made from renewable natural fibers, our paper pulp packaging is fully biodegradable in natural environments after disposal, leaving no microplastic residue — truly achieving full lifecycle sustainability from raw material to end of life.
