Most paper cups are not just paper. Traditional disposable cups rely on polyethylene (PE) plastic linings to hold hot and cold beverages, making them difficult to recycle through many existing systems. Footprint's PE-free cup and lid solution replaces that traditional plastic lining with a mineral-based coating designed to support recycling or home-composting while maintaining the performance customers expect.

Footprint's PE-free cup and lid solution is designed to address that challenge by replacing the traditional plastic lining with a mineral-based coating that supports recycling or home-composting without compromising performance.
