Paper cups primarily consist of paperboard with a plastic lining to prevent liquid penetration.
Paper cups are typically coated with a thin layer of plastic, which plays a crucial role in maintaining their structural integrity and preventing liquid penetration. Paper cup coating includes:
Polyethylene (PE) Coating: The most common coating, PE provides a moisture barrier that prevents the cup from absorbing liquids.
Polylactic Acid (PLA) Coating: A more eco-friendly alternative, PLA is a plant-based plastic that is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions. It is 100% biodegradable.
