We look forward to continuing our partnership with WinCup to provide consumers with reliable and sustainable options for single-use products.”

“Consumer demand continues to grow for innovative products that minimize environmental impacts while maintaining superior performance, and we needed an innovative material to meet that demand,” said Brad Laporte, Chief Operating Officer at WinCup. “Partnering with Danimer Scientific to develop PHA based straws and stirrers is a big step to changing the future in single-use plastics.”

“Customer and Market reactions to this innovative and relevant new product launch have been extremely positive and we expect very high demand for Phade in the coming months,” said Michael Winters, President of WinCup Foodservice. “We are especially honored to have our work recognized by the Plastics Industry Association.”
