Recyclable coffee cups are coming soon.
Coffee cups for takeaway coffee are always transported to landfills as office waste, but now Martin Myerscough, the British inventor, has invented a method of making coffee cups that can be recycled up to seven times, like newspapers and cardboard. According to Martin Myerscough, a small difference in production methods could significantly reduce the huge waste generated by coffee cup society.
Martin Myerscough says the UK consumes about 2.5 billion coffee paper cups a year, most of which go directly to landfills. In addition, the plastic in the coffee cup is closely bonded to the paper, using chemically treated film to keep the coffee warm and prevent leakage, while also hindering effective recycling, which must be separated from the paper in the recycling process, which involves a large amount of energy and chemical use, which makes recycling coffee paper cups expensive and impractical.
The green coffee cup invented by Martin Myerscough is made of ordinary chemical-free cardboard, while the plastic film is fine. It uses easy-to-handle glue to stick to the paper cup, which is easier to separate in the waste paper recycling center. It can be processed through the normal waste paper recycling center, using ordinary filters that separate plastic packaging and labels. The green coffee cup can be recycled within six minutes, compared with the previous professional recycling process of up to two hours.
Martin Myerscough green coffee cups are currently being tested in coffee chains in the UK, hoping to arouse consumer interest and start full commercial production in 2015.
