   Disposable paper cups can be seen everywhere in our life. They are thrown away immediately after use, which is hygienic and convenient. But safety controversies over whether it contains carcinogens, whether it can be used as hot paper cups and whether it can be reused are still at the forefront of consumer concerns. Today we are going to talk about how to distinguish disposable paper cups.
  Actually,one of the most common questions we get is which cups we recommend to our customers; This is a tricky question because it depends on the calories of the beverage you intend to use. We stock a wide range of goods from single wall plain paper cups to double hot cups. The main difference is the insulation of a particular cup type.

  Different hot paper cups
  Pure white or mocha single-wall hot cups are great for hot drinks; However, holding scalding coffee can be uncomfortable without using a cup holder (provided separately)。 Because of its single-wall structure, there are no extra layers to isolate the beverage's heat.
  The double-walled and thermal corrugated cups are designed specifically to withstand very high temperatures, and the double-walled cups work in a manner similar to a thermos flask; Trap air and isolate the customer's hands from the hot drink. On top of that, the extra cup strength is perfect for "coffee on the road."
  With different high street coffee chains and beverage suppliers favourating different materials for disposable cups, it was interesting to identify the most effective insulators. Perhaps the most appropriate way to discuss the insulation properties of paper cups is to compare them to another commonly used takeaway cup, such as the common type of expanded polystyrene. This can be done by performing a simple test to show whether the polystyrene or paper version keeps the temperature of the liquid it contains higher for the longest time.
  
  PLA (polylactic acid) and PE (polyethylene) coated cups
  There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet about the environmental benefits of using PLA coating, mainly regarding the disposal of cups in landfills. Contrary to popular belief, neither PLA nor PE coated paper coffee cups will rot in landfills. The sites are specifically designed to prevent material "decay", a process that releases potentially dangerous methane gas. A major advantage of PLA coated paper cups is that the coating is made from a renewable resource, which accounts for about 5% of the material used in ordinary single wallpaper cups.
  In order to legitimately illustrate the environmental advantages of using disposable paper cups, it should also be noted that they need to be recycled using appropriate facilities. This is true for both PE and PLA paper cups. Currently, the best way to recycle coated cups of this nature in the UK is through the save-a-cup scheme. Organized specific collectibles for paper cups to ensure they go to the right processing plant.
  
  Biodegradable paper cups
  Recently, there has been a lot of emphasis on using biodegradable paper cups for hot drinks. This has become a problem because the lining of traditional PE coated hot drink cups uses non-renewable materials. Obviously, this lining is needed to make the cup impermeable, so the only way to make paper coffee cups more environmentally friendly is to replace the PE lining with an environmentally friendly alternative.
  The new series of biodegradable cups use a PLA lining instead of the traditional PE coating. Previously PLA was mainly used for cold drink plastic glass. This is because the PLA will start to dissolve if it touches a hot drink. The latest varieties are treated with temperature to make them suitable for use with scalding drinks; This advance allows the coating to be applied to paper coffee cups.
