SOFi in a statement, said: “When customers use the SOFi Cup Carrier, they simply place a beverage in its centre and pull up its opposite edges, offering a hands-free carrying experience.”

The SOFi Cup Carrier complements the company’s other compostable products, including the SOFi Cold Cup and SOFi Straws.

The commonly used Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)-based packaging is associated with various adverse health outcomes, including reproductive harm, cancer, liver damage, and other ailments.

SOFi further added: “For a product that’s used for such a short period, traditional cup carriers carry a significant environmental impact.

“Those dull, brown cup carriers that are common in fast food are made from PFAS-based moulded pulp, which takes years to biodegrade. When they eventually break down, PFAS chemicals seep into soil and waterways, contaminating water and wildlife.”
