The plastic cups are the economical and functional alternative to traditional glass and porcelain cups.
The advantage of disposable cups is their variety. Each product range offers different properties, making it ideal for a specific application. In other words, the characteristics of a plastic cup allow us to choose the most suitable one for our needs. However, the diversity of materials can be confusing if you are not familiar with them. Therefore, it is necessary to review each range and its qualities.
Types of disposable plastic cups
Plastic cups can be divided into three types of disposable cups:
Plastic cups: Manufactured from polymers derived from fossil fuels, such as petroleum, they are the most popular cups on the market.
Biodegradable plastic cups: This type of beverage container has the capacity to degrade naturally, after being used and disposed of correctly.
Plastic Composting Cups: Composting cups can be turned into organic fertilizer after going through an industrial transformation process.
All the glasses you find at Monouso, belong to these three categories.
