August 22–23, 2026 | Xiaohe Historic & Cultural District, Hangzhou, China
On August 22–23, Pando partnered with the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce in Hangzhou to host “Zero Cup™ Renewed · Fu Tea for Charity”, a community charity pop-up event in Hangzhou’s Xiaohe Historic & Cultural District.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Fu Tea charity initiative, as well as Pando’s tenth consecutive year of supplying paper cups for the program. To mark this milestone, Pando introduced Zero Cup™, its plastic-free paper cup solution, as the new cup for the Fu Tea charity event—bringing together a decade of community support and a new approach to sustainable packaging.
Visitors were invited to enjoy Fu Tea while discovering Zero Cup™ through product experiences, interactive activities, sustainability-themed voting and cup collection. The event attracted local residents and visitors, creating an accessible setting for conversations around plastic-free packaging, recycling and the circular economy.
By connecting a familiar cup of tea with a new packaging solution, the event brought sustainability into an everyday experience. Simple actions such as enjoying a drink and sorting the used cup for collection offered participants a tangible way to engage with circularity.
Zero Cup™ explores innovative material and coating technologies as an alternative to conventional plastic-lined paper cups, providing new possibilities for more sustainable food and beverage packaging. The solution has received relevant SGS plastic-free certification and CEPI/PTS recyclability verification, while meeting applicable PFAS compliance and coating compostability requirements.
For Pando, the event represents more than a product showcase. Ten years of supporting the Fu Tea charity initiative reflects Pando’s long-term commitment to community engagement and social responsibility. By bringing its products and innovation into charitable initiatives, Pando continues to explore how business can create value while contributing to a more sustainable society.
Looking ahead, Pando will continue working with customers and partners to develop more sustainable packaging solutions, turning innovation into practical value and supporting the transition toward a more circular packaging system.
May this cup of tea still stay warm in the next decade.
