PolyLactic Acid products were made from renewable resources such as corn and sugarcane rather than petroleum, minimizing waste and mitigating the US's reliance on foreign oil. To make the board waterproof, traditional paper cups are covered with PE (Polyethylene) generated from oil. Cups are coated in PLA (Polylactic acid), a plant-based plastic that comes from sustainable sources on both the board and the coating. Drawbacks Covered In Latest Cups Previously, PLA was primarily employed in the manufacture of plastic glasses for serving cold drinks. This is because PLA would disintegrate if it came into contact with a hot beverage. The most recent varieties have been thermally treated to make them safe for use with steaming hot beverages; this advancement has made the coating suitable for use with paper coffee cups. Benefits Of PLA Paper Cups PLA-coated paper cups have the added benefit of being created from a renewable resource, accounting for about 5% of the material used in a typi...

Paper and paperboard have been used for food packaging since the 17th century, with a surge in popularity in the late 19th century. Sulfate and sulfite are used to create an interwoven network of cellulose fibers in paper and paperboard. To make paper, the fibers are pulped and/or bleached, then treated with chemicals like slimicides and strengthening agents. Corrugated boxes, milk cartons, folding cartons, bags and sacks, and wrapping paper all require paper and paperboards. Other papers and paperboard goods include tissue paper, paper plates, and cups. Paper Plain The paper has limited barrier characteristics and is not heat sealable, so it is not utilized to protect foods for lengthy periods. Paper is almost always treated, coated, laminated, or impregnated with compounds such as waxes, resins, or lacquers to increase functional and protective features when used as primary packaging. The following are some of the many different types of paper used in food packaging: Kraft paper is a...
