Plastic-Free Paper Cups

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

The disposable hot beverage cup is notoriously difficult to recycle given its plastic-lined design, which is something the phade paper cup is here to help change. The cup features a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) lining in place of plastic that has been deceived from fermented canola oil to prioritize a compostable and marine-biodegradable design. The single-use cup could thus be broken down into compost in a matter of months from home or through municipal programs to maximize its sustainability profile.

WinCup Chief Executive Officer Brad Laporte commented on the phade paper cup saying, "Finally, there’s a paper cup that is both truly sustainable and effective for hot beverages. phade cups are the first in the world to bring the groundbreaking benefits of PHA into this significant category, allowing the phade cup to naturally biodegrade in a matter of months in compost.”
