LOLIWARE’s Edible Cups Give “Functional Food” a New Meaning

LOLIWARE’s Edible Cups Give “Functional Food” a New Meaning

NPEW’s Pitch Slam winners, LOLIWARE Biodegr(Edible) Cups, make their debut at NPEE with their collection of edible, compostable cups. 

New York, NY – September 8th, 2015

LOLIWARE is a new sustainable material that you can eat!  They’ve coined this new category “Biodegr(Edible)” — that’s both biodegradable and edible.  The first product they’ve launched using this material is a collection of edible cups.  It’s a new and exciting drinking and eating experience, offering fun flavor combinations that complement beverages and desserts.  Imagine your cold brew coffee served in a Madagascar Vanilla cup, or a margarita in a Citrus cup.  LOLIWARE is a delicious alternative to disposable cups destined for the landfill.  They go from cup to soil in 60 days in your home compost and if a cup ends up in a waterway, it’ll simply dissolve.  LOLIWARE is 100% non-GMO, gelatin-free, gluten-free, plastic-free, and made with organic ingredients.  The current flavor collection includes Yuzu Citrus, Tart Cherry, Madagascar Vanilla, and Matcha Green Tea in addition to 4 unflavored colors in Golden Yellow, Bright Magenta, Spring Green, and Natural Clear.

After founders Leigh Ann Tucker and Chelsea Briganti won first place at the 2015 NPEW Pitch Slam, LOLIWARE Biodegr(Edible) Cups is excited to be showing at NPEE for the first time.  They launched the product in March of this year for e-commerce and food service sales, and have since landed many exciting accounts including Four Seasons, ARAMARK, Thrive Market, and W Hotel.  At their NPEE booth, LOLIWARE will be revealing their “hot off the presses” re-brand done by the award-winning agency, Fuseproject.  Visit booth #9036 to see the new look and give their delicious and sustainable Biodegr(Edible) Cups a taste.
