Problem: Impact of Disposable Tableware on the Environment
The widespread use of disposable tableware, particularly coffee cups, is causing significant environmental damage. Let's examine the alarming statistics:
These figures highlight the urgent need for sustainable alternatives to disposable tableware. The environmental impact is severe, with millions of trees being felled and vast amounts of waste generated daily, particularly in the coffee industry.
Environmental Benefits of Using CupCorn Cups
Paper Cups
CO2 Emissions per Cup: 110 grams
Impact on Nature: Paper production requires deforestation, reducing natural "CO2 absorbers" (trees).
CupCorn
CO2 Emissions per Cup: about 22 grams*
Forest Conservation: No need for tree cutting, preserving natural CO2 absorbers and contributing to lower atmospheric CO2 levels.
Conclusion
Using CupCorn cups instead of traditional paper cups not only reduces direct CO2 emissions but also helps preserve forests, enhancing the positive impact on the climate through increased CO2 absorption by trees.
*Using green energy in production (such as solar panels) will reduce emissions by another 4 grams.
Uses a unique eco-friendly formula to create disposable tableware that dissolves completely in water, decomposes in the soil within 18 months and acts as a fertilizer.
The new formula makes the material not only environmentally safe but also reliable and versatile, suitable for various types of liquids.
Production uses specially developed equipment that enhances process efficiency and product quality.
