Recyloop Wins Prestigious Sustainability Award with Michelman’s Eco-Friendly Cupstock Coating

As Turkey’s first producer of 100% recyclable paper cups, Recyloop is setting a powerful example of how innovation can drive circularity and reduce waste at the source.

Congratulations to Recyloop for winning “Most Sustainable Project” in the Waste Management and Zero Waste category at the prestigious Sustainable Business Awards, organized by Sürdürülebilirlik Akademisi and known as “the Green Nobel of the business world.”

Their award-winning solution supports Turkey’s Zero Waste goals and aligns with the EU Green Deal framework, proving that local technology can deliver global impact. By transforming packaging into a resource instead of waste, Recyloop is helping lead the way toward a more sustainable future.

This achievement is enabled in part by Michem® Coat 9100, one of Michelman’s versatile, water-based cupstock coatings that imparts a strong heat seal and water barrier, plus resistance to oil and grease, without impeding recyclability. When companies across the value chain collaborate on eco-friendly solutions, sustainability milestones like this become possible.
