Are aqueous coated cups recyclable?

Yes. Aqueous-coated cups can be recycled in standard paper recycling streams because there is no plastic film to separate. Check local recycling facility acceptance.

Are aqueous coated cups suitable for hot drinks?

Aqueous coating provides good moisture resistance for warm beverages up to 80°C. For very hot beverages (90°C+), PE or PLA coating is recommended.

What is the difference between aqueous and PE coating?

PE coating uses a thin polyethylene plastic film fused to the paper. Aqueous coating uses a water-based polymer with no plastic film, making it easier to recycle and free of microplastics.
