Paper cup material

Few people give a second thought to what paper cups are made of. Did you know that the composition of materials used to create paper cups has evolved over the years? In this article we’ll find out what materials are used in paper cups, how and if it affects the world we live in, and what kind of new stuff we’re choosing instead. Let me take the plunge and you can learn more about paper cup types. 

Paper cups have been around for decades, but the stuff used to make them has evolved. Paper cups were traditionally made from bleached paperboard. This paper cup raw material is a type of paper and it is made strong by the action of chemicals on it. Bleached paperboard, however, is not particularly good for the environment, because chemicals can be harmful.

Pros and Cons of Different Paper Cup Materials

Today, many paper cups are made of recycled paper or use unbleached paperboard. Recycled paper is made from paper that has already been used, which can help save trees. Unbleached paperboard is preferable anyway, because it doesn’t have potentially harmful chemicals. In the process of using these new materials, companies like SHI RONG PAPER contribute to the environment. 

The material of paper cup used has significant impact on environment. Cups made of bleached paperboard or another non recycled material can drive the cutting down of trees and the use of more resources than cups made from recycled paper or bioplastics. These paper cup raw material details, when discarded, end up in landfills and may linger for a long time to biodegrade.
