The only difference is, instead of a polyethylene coating used in the interior of a traditional paper cup, the reCup is made using a mineral-based coating known as EarthCoating.<\/p>\n<p>The coating contains half of the plastic content and disintegrates quickly in the recycling process, allowing paper cups to become valuable materials for recyclers to collect and recycle.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recup.earth\/how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE ABOUT RECUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to its work in the U.S. with reCup, CupPrint introduced the reCup product to the European custom printed paper cup manufacturing market.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re proud to be a sustainable pioneer.
