FoodTechBiz – Replacing single use plastic cups with paper ones is problematic and research shows that a paper cup that ends up in nature can also cause damage as they also contain toxic chemicals. It is the opinion of researchers at the University of Gothenburg that the paper cup can do great harm to living organisms if it ends up in nature.
Bioplastics – a type of plastic that can be made from natural resources such as vegetable oils and starches – do not break down efficiently enough when they end up in water, there may be a risk that the plastic remains in nature and may be absorbed into the tissue of animals and humans, just as other plastics do.
