As a disposable product, paper cups have a lower overall energy use and environmental pollution footprint than paper cups.
Easy to Renew
Made from a renewable material – paper (from wood) – a source that can be sustainably sourced, paper cups are infinitely recyclable. On the other hand, the use of fossil fuels, which is not renewable, has defloated with the use of conventional plastic cups. Choosing paper cups means you’re going for a more eco-friendly option.

Biodegradable and easily recycled, paper cups allow less waste to end up in landfills or oceans. This is all starkly different from the plastic cups, which too often become litter or take hundreds of years to decompose. Choosing paper cups means promoting a circular economy and avoiding environmental pollution.

Unlike plastic cups, paper cups don’t leach harmful chemicals into your coffee or tea. Especially important to those interested in health-conscious lifestyles to avoid potential risks from plastic use. Paper cups are chosen for the safer drinking experience.
