Single-use plastic cups have always been criticized by organizations that want to tackle the plastic waste in the country. The reason for this criticism is that these cups cannot be recycled and they end up contaminating waste streams. As a result, more waste ends up in landfill. Recognizing the environmental footprint of single-use plastic cups, paper cups manufacturers have begun to switch away from them. They are helping to minimize the environmental footprint by encouraging the use of Paper Cups.
Paper Cups Can be Recycled
Paper cups are sourced from forests and are a more friendly option than plastics. These cups can be collected separately and trucked to facilities that can recycle them. Some lawmakers and companies argue that paper cups are hard to recycle because they contain a plastic lining that must be separated before the cup can be recycled. This is a totally ridiculous argument.
Paper cups be recycled properly if they are collected in special bins and then sent for recycling to the right facility. It is true that cups can end up in landfills if they are thrown into regular bins. However, if consumers properly put them into special recycling bins, they will be recycled by the facilities that possess the ability to remove the plastic lining from paper before recycling the cup.
If you often go shopping in shopping malls, you will find that Kraft Bags are widely used in all walks of life. For example, clothing stores and shoe stores we often go to are the most common places to use kraft paper bags. Even when you pack in some fast food restaurants and beverage stores, you will also use kraft paper bags as Takeaway Bags. Compared with plastic bags, the cost of kraft paper bags is higher. Why are so many enterprises willing to use kraft paper bags? One of the reasons is that more enterprises attach importance to environmental protection and regard environmental protection as a part of corporate culture, so they choose more environmentally friendly and renewable paper bags instead of plastic bags.
The rise of Insulation Bags in China can be said to have started in 2006, when McDonald's China gradually implemented a kind of kraft paper bag with thermal insulation performance in all stores to hold takeout food, replacing the use of plastic food bags. This move has also received positive response from other businesses, such as Nike, Adidas and other former large consumers of plastic bags have begun to use high-quality kraft paper bags to replace plastic shopping bags.
Of course, there are still some people in the market who have different opinions on whether kraft paper is environmentally friendly or not. Generally speaking, people who think kraft paper packaging is not environmentally friendly mainly focus on the manufacturing process of kraft paper and the selection of raw materials. They believe that the pulp of paper packaging is obtained by cutting down trees, causing damage to the ecological environment. The other is the paper in the production process will discharge a large number of sewage, causing water pollution.
