**Resealable lid manufacturer** [**CUPEX**](https://en.cupex.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **is expanding its range with the release of COMFORT, its new reusable lid.**

Made of dimensionally stable polypropylene (PP), COMFORT is constructed with three individual parts that the consumer can pull apart and clean, either by hand or in a dishwasher. Conversely, when it reaches the end of its life, it is recyclable through channels such as Germany’s Dual System.

The lid is free of bisphenol A (BPA), acrylonitrile, and other harmful substances, and its “dome” shape is intended to accommodate liquids topped with cream or foam. Its opening is large, accessible, and resealable – releasing aromas when open to improve the taste of the drink inside, yet preventing spillage when it is closed with a simple sliding motion.

The materials used to make the lid are also tasteless and odourless to ensure a comfortable drinking experience.

We held a [Rapid Interview with CUPEX](https://packagingeurope.com/features/the-rapid-interview-with-cupex/8264.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in May, in which the company discussed its unique take on lid design, the misuse of sustainability buzzwords, and its goals for the future.

Meanwhile, McDonald’s have attempted to cut down on single-use plastic lids in recent years, from [sundae lids made of 100% wood fibre](https://packagingeurope.com/finalist-interview-huhtamakis-100-wood-fiber-cup-for-mcdonalds/4051.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) to [removing lids from their McFlurry packaging](https://packagingeurope.com/from-fibre-lids-to-lidless-mcflurrys-mcdonalds-launches-better-m-platform/6636.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io).

Back in 2018, [Tri-Star Packaging](https://www.tri-star.co.uk/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) launched [pokito](https://packagingeurope.com/tri-star-presents-alternative-to-single-use-cups-the-pokito-pop-up-cup/612.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io), a line of collapsible reusable cups with a screw-top lid and spill-proof clip.
