An eco-friendly alternative to the small plastic cups often found alongside water coolers, the cones meet Herald’s corporate brief to supply more sustainable products and sit alongside a selection of aqueous hot cups, which also include a ripple wall option.
The quality supplier is leading in the disposables industry as it continues to demonstrate its commitment to a cleaner planet. Herald offers the widest choice of greener products to meet demand from the hospitality, leisure and catering sectors, having identified that most of its customers want more variety when it comes to ecofriendly goods.
Herald’s national sales manager, David Martin comments on the latest product to be introduced: “We already stock a wide choice of aqueous hot cups as part of our environmentally-friendly selection, with both double and ripple wall options and in a complete range of sizes, so it made sense to source cold cones to complete the offering.
“We have many customers who are keen to switch to 100 per cent aqueous products across all their cup purchases and we want those customers to treat us as a one-stop shop. The appetite for phasing out unnecessary one-use plastic has been enormous and recent changes to the laws across the UK reflect that. The aqueous cold cone makes the perfect alternative to the plastic cups often found by the side of water coolers and provides our customers with an easy ethical solution.”
Supported by a 35-year history of identifying where the value lies for its customers and delivering without sacrificing quality, Herald is in constant talks with suppliers to review and expand its product offering. The company’s popular eco range includes a choice of compostable cups and bagasse items comprising of square, round and rectangle plates, in varying sizes, along with bowls and hot boxes, chip trays, burger boxes, noodle boxes and other lunch boxes. It also has a complete selection of wooden and cornstarch cutlery, including individually wrapped items and meal packs.
