Have you ever wondered what difference the material an ordinary disposable cup is made of makes to the environment? We choose plastic or Styrofoam cups much more often, mainly due to their lower price compared to their paper counterparts. Is relying solely on price a good choice? Definitely not! Cups made of plastic have definitely more disadvantages than advantages. So what is the reason for choosing paper cups ?
Paper cups - environmental protection at your fingertips!
Paper cups are much better for the environment! They are recyclable and do not pollute our planet. They are completely biodegradable, so their decomposition takes much less time compared to cups made of plastic. When it comes to plastic cups, things are not that simple... Disposable cups and plates take up to 400 years to decompose in the environment! Important information is also information about the recycling fee, which consists in increasing the tax on purchased plastic products. It is therefore much more efficient and ecological to use paper cups . 
Paper cup as a form of advertising
Advertising elements can be placed not only on plastic cups, it is also possible on paper cups . A paper cup doesn't have to be plain, plain and boring. You can use it in advertising, but how? First of all, you can put a slogan or logo on it. Such a mug will certainly attract more attention than a standard white or black one. Many restaurants, cafes and catering establishments have already switched to paper tableware, they support the environment and pay less. In many restaurants and cafes you can buy takeaway coffee or tea, so a paper cup works perfectly. A paper cup with a logo will attract attention and will certainly be remembered, and you will contribute to saving the environment.
Well-known brands are also switching to being eco-friendly
An example is Starbucks, the largest coffee chain in the world, which has introduced a promotion in which we get a discount when we bring our own cup. This was supposed to contribute to reducing the amount of waste, guests enjoyed the drink in their own cup, and Starbucks reduced its investment in plastic dishes.
Another example of a well-known brand is McDonald's, which also abandoned plastic cups and straws . Additionally, he also replaced ice cream packaging with completely paper ones. Due to the very large number of customers, the introduction of ecological packaging gave the restaurant a new ecological tone, which significantly improved the brand's image. For years, McDonald's has been accused of polluting the environment, and the restaurant decided to put an end to these speculations. McDonald's now focuses on recycling and does not intend to go back to old plastic habits!
To sum up, by using paper cups we contribute to being eco-friendly, save our planet from tons of plastic and focus on recycling. Larger companies are also starting their journey with paper solutions, so do it too!
