PE, PLA cups…the slang seams difficult. How is Cupbio placed within these?

Excellent question! Paper cups need some form of insulation against liquid and fats. Traditionally this is achieved with coating the cartonboard with a film of PE (Polyethene) plastic. Somewhat similar properties can be achieved with foodplant based PLA (Poly lactic acid) coating. PLA is industrially biodegradable, which has a little to do with biodegradability in nature, but is considered a plastic when it is recycled. Cupbio cups are made of Finnish cupstock that is coated with a water based dispersion making our cups 100% recyclable and biodegradable even in nature.
