Paper Cups
100% Recyclable
Replace traditional plastic lamination with our water-based coatings. A solution applied superficially to ensure total recyclability without sacrificing resistance.
The smart alternative to PE lamination
The Evolution of the
Paper Cup
Leave plastic laminates (PE) behind. Our water-based technology allows paper to maintain its natural recyclability.
- PE laminate replacement
- Efficient fiber recovery
- Surface application (No lamination)
Beverages
Thermal resistance for coffee and cold drinks.
Food
Safe barrier for soups, ice cream, and noodles.
Lids
The complete solution for sustainable packaging.
How it Works?
Understand the difference between the past and future of paper cups.
Traditional (PE)
Plastic Lamination
A plastic film (polyethylene) is adhered to the paper. This creates a hybrid material difficult to separate and recycle.
Our Solution
Water-Based Coating
A functional liquid layer is applied directly onto the paper, like ink. The result is protected paper, but 100% repulpable.

Common Questions
What you need to know.
Is it truly recyclable?
Yes. Unlike PE-laminated cups that require expensive separation processes, our cups are recycled in standard paper and board streams.
Does the coating affect the taste of the drink?
No. Our coatings are completely neutral and do not transfer odors or flavors to the content, guaranteeing the consumer experience.
Can the same cup forming machines be used?
Yes. Paper coated with our technology works on standard cup forming machines that use heat sealing or ultrasound.
Is it resistant to very hot drinks?
Absolutely. It is designed to withstand high temperatures without degrading or losing its barrier properties.
