In recent times there has been a lot of public awareness of the impact of the use of plastic on the environment. Multi-cup Solutions, a well-established food and beverage packaging supplier in South Africa, made the responsible decision to add a new range of environmentally friendly products to their extensive product list. This is a constructive and environmentally friendly alternative to mainstream food and beverage packaging.

Multi-cup Solutions in South Africa

Multi-cup Solutions was founded in 2010 and distribute a wide range of branded and generic food, beverage and allied packaging to the foodservice and vending industries throughout South Africa and beyond.

Multi-cup Solutions has secured the exclusive rights to a Korean company Pelican and Plus products in Sub-Saharan Africa. This, together with its expanding base in Asia, the Far East and through the Multi-cup South East Asia office, gives the company on-going exposure to current and global trends in the disposable packaging industry.

Over the past few years, the company has grown and is a major player in the South African market with a national footprint of sales and distribution networks. Multi-cup Solutions is a proud supplier to brands such as Woolworths, Famous Brands, Ciro and Vida e Caffè.

The strict implementation and adherence of audit programmes, plus required certification of products ensure the high-quality standards of the Multi-cup Solutions product range, has continually resulted in Multi-cup achieving the status of an approved supplier to such global clients as The Coca-Cola Company. In 2013 Multi-cup Solutions became a division of Libstar Operations (Pty) Ltd, which in turn was listed on the JSE in May 2018.

Multi-cup Solutions Goes Green

In line with the consumer moving towards more environmentally conscious habits, Multi-cup is now in a position to offer an alternative with its own unique environmentally-friendly, biodegradable range of food packaging products.

CEO, Derek Couzens, views this new venture as follows:

“Robert Swan best captures the responsibility of all of us to play a meaningful role in meeting the challenges facing the planet with his argument that ‘The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.’ We at Multi-cup have accepted this challenge both in terms of our corporate responsibility but also as the responsibility of all our employees as we seek to make a meaningful difference going forward.”

Multi-cup Solutions believes in the importance of educating where ever possible on the impact we have on the environment. Where better place to start learning than in the home? Below is a fun game which all family members can participate in.
