Want a sturdy alternative to PE and PLA-laminated cups? Well, a cup containing less than 0.76% plastic is right here! Instead of a plastic lamination, the Melli cup uses water-based coating technology for the paper cups.

It’s printed like water-based ink, allowing it to be absorbed into the paper fibres rather than sitting on top as an additional layer. This reduces the amount of material needed – while still providing the same leak and grease-proof benefits as other types of coatings and laminations.
