PAPLUS®
Plastic-Free Cup PAPLUS Logo
Lot.No. CMN2210300700FCL
The first item with the PAPLUS® brand logo is a simple black logo. We added catchiness to the minimalist appearance.
The main raw materials 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.
In addition, uneven color and fading that occur as you use it will appear as the personality of the user, and please enjoy the process of growing into a product that you can become attached to.
■ Materials that are in harmony with the earth
About 86% of plastic-free cups are made of corn-derived resin and paper, which are plant-derived ingredients. 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 materials are 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%.
■ 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 plastic-free cups is 120°C, so you can use them for warm drinks with confidence.
■ Commitment to packaging
The packaging is made of "chip balls", which are 100% recycled paper made from recycled newspaper and magazine paper.
■ 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.
