Paper cups for hot drinks 200 ml white 50 pcs

The majority of the material is paper, which is protected against leakage or soiling by the coating of the inner layer. The traditional material used for the vast majority of cups on the market is polyethylene (PE)

Sorting and disposal - Under the EU2020/2151 Regulation, which came into force in July 2021, all paper cups, regardless of the inner liner material used, must be labelled with an approved mark and information that the product contains plastic. Based on the findings of EU-wide waste segregation research, it has been found that cups with an inner coating of bioplastic do not deliver the expected improvements in waste management. Controlled composting is needed for the perfect environmentally sound disposal of the paper cup with bioplastic. Only a negligible percentage of eco-friendly cups end up in the composter, most of them end their life cycle in mixed waste, just like conventional cups. A recurring mistake is the sorting of any paper cups into containers designed for paper. Due to the inner layer, the cups cannot be recycled. Today, there are technologies for separating PE from paper.
