Disposable plastic cups, belonging to the category of disposable items, were used for single-use food and beverage containers and are now banned or restricted in their use.

Disposable plastic cups are used to hold beverages, water, tea, etc., and are lightweight and easy to carry. Depending on the usage, disposable plastic cups can be categorized as cold drink cups, hot drink cups, transparent cups, milk tea cups, juice cups, etc.

Disposable plastic cups are typically made of materials such as polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), or polyethylene (PE). Manufacturing processes include injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion. During production, plasticizers, stabilizers, and other additives are usually added to improve the properties of the plastic.

Disposable plastic cups are used in large quantities, have low recycling rates, and are non-biodegradable, causing a significant impact on the environment. Using ceramic or glass cups as an analogy, environmentally friendly food and beverage utensils are not only beneficial to health but also help protect the environment. The government has already taken measures to restrict or ban the use of disposable plastic products.
