Sustainability at GIOLA — plastic-free, compostable gelato packaging
THE SPOONS
Our spoons are made with Sulapac®, a bio-based material created from sustainably sourced biopolymers and wood from industrial side streams. Designed to perform beautifully, they biodegrade without leaving permanent microplastics behind.
Crafted from sustainably sourced biodegradable biopolymers and wood from industrial side streams — with 85% USDA-certified biobased content.
Beautiful in the hand and food-safe, they do their job perfectly — then return to nature. The only thing your gelato leaves behind is a good memory.
THE TUB
Born from a love for the environment, our 100% compostable tub is made entirely of paper — the first of its kind in Lisbon
Completely plastic-free, our takeaway tubs are designed so you can enjoy GIOLA gelato at home with friends and family — creamy, fresh and at the perfect temperature.
Sustainable yet beautifully designed, they’re elegant enough to place straight on the table and share from.
CUPS & CONES
Our paper packaging is designed with the planet in mind — responsibly sourced, food-safe and supported by certifications including FSC, PEFC and TÜV Austria OK COMPOST HOME.
Selected cups and cone sleeves are certified to compost under home-composting conditions, without the need for industrial facilities.
Taste it for yourself — explore our 25+ artisanal flavours, served in compostable cups at all four Lisbon shops.
