Yogurt lovers just got an eco-friendly bonus…Stonyfield Farm, the world’s leading organic yogurt company, introduces the first yogurt cup made from plants.  Beginning today, every Stonyfield Farm multipack yogurt cup will be made from plant-based plastic.  The new, sustainable container slashes carbon emissions by nearly half (48%) and places Stonyfield in the forefront of the growing sustainable packaging industry, a market segment expected to reach $142 billion by 2015.

Stonyfield makes this positive change with no increase in price on any of its multipacks.  The new cups look and feel just like the petroleum-based polystyrene (PS#6) cups they replace, the only difference is the new “Made From Plants” stamp on the bottom.
