(Paplus Short Cup)
Lot.No.CMN2210300700SC
A swallow-sized PAPLUS® short cup with a capacity of 110 ml.
It can be used for multiple purposes such as sake bowls, espresso, gargling, and children's cups.
* This product is a non-package series that does not use a package that is intended for home use.
The main raw materials for PAPLUS® products are PLA (polylactic acid), which is mainly lactic acid obtained by fermenting corn starch, and paper.
By making it from earth-friendly materials, it has a unique texture of natural materials like pottery and wood products, and we value individuality such as color and shade so that you can use it with love.
■ Warm drinks are also OK
While many products with high purity of plant-derived ingredients do not have a heat-resistant function, the heat-resistant temperature of the PAPLUS® short cup is 120°C, so you can use it for warm drinks with confidence.
■ Materials that are in harmony with the earth
Approximately 86% of the PAPLUS® short cups are made of corn-derived resin and paper, which are plant-derived ingredients.
Natural viscosity minerals (about 7%) and petroleum-derived additives (about 7%) are added to the main components to ensure heat resistance. *1
In addition, most of the material is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by the action of microorganisms. *2
*1 Please be assured that the minimum additives used comply with the Food Sanitation Law stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
Many so-called eco-friendly products do not mention additives.
Please be careful.
*2 The time and degree required for decomposition vary greatly depending on the environment, so we do not guarantee 100%.
■ Recycle instead of throwing away
If PAPLUS® products are thrown in the trash, they will be incinerated. Since it is made almost entirely from plant-derived ingredients, it is carbon neutral (virtually does not increase CO2), but please cooperate in recovering it as a resource and remanufacturing it instead of incinerating it as garbage. Let's create a new cycle together.
Note: Recycling is only available for businesses in Japan.
