Copa’s sugarcane bagasse cup is made from certified post manufactured waste from processed sugarcane plants. There is zero waste in the production/manufacturing process and it removes bagasse waste from landfills and/or prevents it from being burned.
In addition from being made from a sustainable source, the cup is coated with EarthCoating instead of traditional polyethylene making it fully recyclable in any standard paper/paperboard recycle stream.
Paper cups with EarthCoating are designed to be universally compatible with paper recycling systems and to provide market opportunities to divert paper cups from landfill to premium recycled paper products.
