Tiếng ViệtThe convenience of single-use plastic cups is undeniable, but the negative impacts it brings to the environment and people are also huge. This is the time to change toxic habits of using conventional plastic cups to plastic cups derived from nature.
Single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite were born as an alternative to disposable plastic cups. Bring many new features and solve the problems that disposable plastic cups are facing.
The harmful effects of single-use plastic cups
Disposable plastic cups are made from plastics such as PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), HDPE (high density polyethylene), etc. Different technologies will be applied to each type of plastic to satisfy different requirements about color, gloss, hardness.
The reasons why single-use plastic cups are popular
Single-use plastic cups is no strangeness to everyone. We can come across single-use plastic cups from sidewalk eateries to indoor eateries, at mini supermarket chains, water bars, milk tea… There are many reasons why for disposable plastic cups are widely used today.

Negative effects from using single-use plastic cups
Besides the convenience that single-use plastic cups bring, it also causes a lot of bad impacts on the natural environment and humans. Many of us are certainly aware of those effects. Styrene is a toxic substance found in products made from plastic, which in the long run will be harmful to the health of the user, leading to cancer.
Every day, tons of plastic waste is released into the environment and of course a lot of it is not collected and treated timely and properly. As a result, they will exist on the Earth for hundreds of years before decomposing, making the soil barren, preventing the growth of microorganisms and causing the death of many sea creatures.
Single-use plastic cups when being burned will release dioxins and furans. These are extremely toxic substances capable of causing breathing difficulties, affecting endocrine glands, weakening the immune system, disrupting digestive function, and especially having the risk of causing cancer.
From the negative effects that single-use plastic cups bring, many countries around the world have banned the use of this type of plastic cups (such as the US and Canada). This is where the bioplastic cups derived from nature appear, like the single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite.
The replacement comes from single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite.
It is impossible to only focus on instant benefits and ignore the long-term harm caused by single-use plastic cups. Many restaurants, businesses and consumers have begun to limit the use of single-use plastic cups by choosing environmentally-friendly plastic cups that can be completely biodegradable.
That’s why single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite are produced and available on the market. Provide customers with more choices of plastic cup types that are safe for both humans and nature. Single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite are a more modern version and improve the disadvantages of ordinary disposable plastic cups.
What’s so special about Biopolymer single-use plastic cups ?
Single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite are manufactured in many different sizes, depending on the purpose used by the customer. The surface of the cups will bring a brown color with the aroma from the coffee grounds. Single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite also have more outstanding features than plastic cups as follows.
Using coffee grounds in the production of bio-plastic cups.
Making coffee will release a large amount of coffee grounds which will often be discarded because they no longer have use value. But not many people realize that coffee grounds are a valuable resource because they do not contain impurities such as heavy metals. This is a potential source of renewable materials to put into production, especially single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite.
Coffee grounds are collected from coffee shop chains and transported to storage. Combine that amount of coffee grounds with PP plastic beads to make new coffee bioplastics which will be used to produce coffee bioplastic cups with an attractive coffee aroma.
Biodegradability
Thanks to being made from coffee grounds, the single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite can be degradable in a conditional environment under the influence of microorganisms. Time for bioplastic cups to decompose is from 6 months to 12 months which is a very short time compared to hundreds of years from traditional plastic cups. After being decomposed, they will become inorganic substances such as water, CO2 and biomass which are very essential to the surrounding soil and plants.
Does not contain harmful substances to health
What makes single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite better than conventional plastic cups is to ensure safety for users’ health. For bioplastic products, environmental friendliness and protection of human health are two important things that each product must have.
Single-use plastic cups made from coffee bio-composite do not contain toxins such as BPA, Styrene, colorants and additives which prevents dangerous diseases of the stomach, cancer and many other diseases. Coffee bio plastic cups can also be used directly with hot drinks without exposing the drink to toxins.
