Nissin Foods USA announced that Cup Noodles is set to launch a new paper cup design in early 2024, replacing the current polystyrene cup. This is a change for the brand since its U.S. introduction in 1973. The updated packaging for the on-the-go cup is now microwavable.

Michael Price, president and CEO of Nissin Foods USA says, "While Cup Noodles will continue to have that same satisfying taste and iconic look, we continue to find ways to evolve the brand to support the current needs of our consumers, the environment and the world. This updated packaging and the new paper cup marks an important milestone for Cup Noodles and a key step in our environmental commitment."
