Degradable Paper Cups: Tech-Driven Full-Lifecycle Sustainability, Every Cup a Commitment to the Planet
Traditional disposable paper cups rely on wood pulp substrates and fluorinated/PE coatings, leading to deforestation, microplastic pollution, and non-degradable waste accumulation. **Botongpack’s degradable paper cups** break through these industry pain points, integrating professional environmental technology, food-grade safety standards, and reliable product performance.
🔴 Full-Lifecycle Green Concept:
From raw material selection to production, use, and degradation, they implement a **full-lifecycle green concept**, turning each cup into a tangible practice of low-carbon responsibility.
-
● Renewable Base Material:
Adopts composite substrates with ≥85% agricultural and forestry waste content, reducing **1.2kg of wood consumption** per 100 cups. Ensures structural stability while achieving resource recycling.
-
● Non-Toxic Waterproof Coating:
Abandons fluorinated compounds (PFOA/PFOS) and PE plastic films, adopting **PLA plant-based biodegradable coating**. Ensures **no leakage or penetration** (Oil resistance grade ≥12h).
Complies with EU EN13432 and US ASTM D6400 full-degradation standards.
-
✔ Eco-Friendly Printing Process:
Uses **soybean-based environmentally friendly inks** (VOCs emission ≤100g/L), ensuring no fading or peeling, and compatible with substrate degradation.
-
✔ Energy & Water Conservation Technology:
Reduces production energy consumption by 25% and water consumption by 30%. Achieves **zero production waste discharge** (100% recycling).
-
✔ Carbon Footprint Optimization:
Carbon footprint ≤3.2g CO₂e per cup, **40% lower** than traditional PE-coated paper cups (based on ISO 14067 LCA).
⚠ Reliable Basic Performance:
- Heat resistance range: -5℃~95℃. Can hold hot drinks at 90℃ for ≥4 hours without leakage.
- Cup body’s lateral stiffness ≥80mN·m, preventing deformation when held.
🔄 Efficient Degradation Performance:
- Natural soil environment: Fully degrades within **180 days**.
- Industrial composting conditions: Degradation completed in **90 days**.
- Result: No microplastic residues, degraded products can be used as organic fertilizers.
Choosing Botongpack’s degradable paper cups is not only about selecting a safe and reliable beverage container but also about **practicing corporate environmental responsibility** through tangible actions.
Each cup’s "100% Degradable" label, certified by international authoritative institutions, becomes a visual carrier for brands to convey green commitments. It enhances brand credibility and market competitiveness—jointly building a low-carbon, circular, and sustainable ecological environment.
