What is the difference between PE, PLA and Water-based coating cups?

PE protective film, full name Polyethylene, is the simplest polymer organic compound and the most widely used polymer material in the world today. The PE protective film uses a special polyethylene (PE) plastic film as the base material, and is divided into high-density polyethylene protective film, medium-density polyethylene and low-density polyethylene according to the density.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material, made from starch raw materials proposed by renewable plant resources (such as corn).

• It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature within 1~1.5 years under specific conditions, and finally carbon dioxide and water are generated without polluting the environment. This is very beneficial to environmental protection and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material.

• On the other hand, based on the waste management hierarchy, compostable paper cup is not the most economical option.

What can we do to find a balance?

• By adopting the new technology “Paper+ water-based coating” to achieve paper cup fully recyclable and re-pulpable.

• Cup recyclable in the paper stream that it is the most developed recycling stream around in the world.

• Save energy, reduce waste, develop a circle and sustainable future for our only one earth.
