Eco-Friendly Sleek Cups

The New PAPLUS Tumbler has a Sustainable Build and Design

— November 10, 2023 — Eco
PAPLUS presents the PAPLUS Tumbler, which is a sustainable cup that is made from eco-friendly materials and progressive design. The cup is a new way of creating thermoplastic resin by blending biodegradable paper with the addition of heat resistance, moldability, and durability, which are components that regular PLA lacks.

Additionally, it creates a unique texture that is comparable to wooden or ceramic textures. Other features include the heat resistance that reaches 120°C to enjoy warm drinks. The design replicates the sensation of drinking from an elegant cup with the addition of black pigments are are dissolved in a safe urethane. The finished look is a matte black coating along the exteriors with a natural gloss.
