This coating makes the cups leak-proof and food-safe. Unfortunately, however, it prevents the paper cups from being disposed of sustainably. Alternative organic coffee cups with a plant-based PLA coating are also produced in an environmentally friendly way, but have a similar disposal problem due to the lack of composting facilities. With a total annual consumption of 2.8 billion* cups in Germany alone, a better solution is needed. Products made from renewable raw materials are good and absolutely the right way to go. But sustainable action must not stop with the last sip of coffee. We have to think the process through further and enable environmentally friendly disposal. With the organic coffee cups Only Paper, this has been achieved for the first time. After use, they can be fed into the recycling loop via waste paper. This makes the coffee to go market much more environmentally friendly. *According to the Federal Environment Agency, source: Reusable instead of disposable for coffee and co. | Federal Environment Agency
