How to reduce plastic waste caused by disposable paper cup lids

In recent years, the volume of resisting plastic waste has become louder and louder. Disposable plastic cup lids have become a new target for counterattacks. Biodegradable paper cup lids will become the future development direction.

Between 2012 and 2021, coffee shops in the U.S. grew by 18 percent and in the U.K. by 28 percent, generating billions of plastic lids, according to research firm Mintel.

According to BBC statistics, as early as 2011, about 2.5 billion plastic cup lids were thrown away every year, and now this number may be even higher. Because these plastic cup lids are difficult to recycle, they will cause serious pollution to the environment.

More and more regions are restricting the use of plastic lids, especially in Europe. The European Parliament approved a proposal to ban single-use plastics such as straw, cutlery, and cotton swabs. It also suggested that EU countries could set emission reduction standards or impose certain fees to reduce the use of plastic lids.

Taiwan has said it will ban single-use plastic lids by 2030. The world is also planning to be able to phase out single-use plastics.
