A textured cup that can be used in any situation. It has a ceramics-like texture that is molded using a potter's wheel, and matches the texture of PAPLUS,® which is made of naturally derived ingredients.
*This product is a non-packaged series that does not use packaging designed for home use.
The main raw materials of PAPLUS® products are PLA (polylactic acid), which is mainly composed of lactic acid obtained by fermenting corn starch, and paper.
By making it with earth-friendly materials, it has a unique texture of natural materials, such as ceramics and wood products, and we value individuality such as color and shade so that you can use it with affection.
■CO2 reduction: Approx. 210g-CO2e/piece reduction
*This data is a comparison based on the specific gravity of the material, assuming PP (polypropylene) material of the same shape and volume. The evaluation is based on LCA (raw material-commercialization-incineration) based on theoretical combustion, and each material has the same grade (heat-resistant/non-heat-resistant, etc.).
■Particular design
The design has a ceramic pattern molded using a potter's wheel and gently wavy lines on the drinking mouth, which matches the texture of PAPLUS,® which is made of naturally derived ingredients.
■Hot drinks are also OK
While many products with high purity of plant-derived ingredients do not have heat-resistant functions, the heat-resistant temperature of PAPLUS textured® cups is 120°C, so you can use them for hot drinks with confidence.
■Materials that harmonize with the earth
Approximately 86% of PAPLUS® textured cups are made of resin and paper derived from corn, which are plant-derived ingredients.
The main ingredients are natural viscosity minerals (about 7%) and petroleum-derived additives (about 7%) to ensure heat resistance. *1
In addition, most of the material is broken down into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms. *2
*1 Please be assured that the minimum additives used comply with the Food Sanitation Act stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Many of the so-called eco-friendly products do not mention additives.
Please note.
*2 The time and degree required for disassembly vary greatly depending on the environment, so we cannot guarantee 100%.
■Recycling instead of disposable
PAPLUS® products are incinerated if they are disposed of as garbage. It is carbon neutral (virtually does not increase CO2) because it is mostly made of plant-derived ingredients, but please cooperate in recovering it as a resource and reproducing it rather than incinerating it as garbage. Let's create a new cycle together.
Note: Recycling is only available for businesses in Japan.
