The main raw materials of plastic-free tumblers are PLA (polylactic acid), which is mainly composed of lactic acid obtained by fermentation of corn starch, and paper.
By making them from earth-friendly materials, the tumblers have the unique texture of natural materials like ceramics and wood products, and we value the individuality of their colors and shades so that they can be used with love and care.
[I want to use my own cup, but avoid plastic products!]
[I want to use something that is good for the environment, but design is also important...].
We recommend this product for those who want to use a cup that is good for the environment, but whose design is also important...].
Design with care
The plastic-free tumbler has a simple design that makes the most of the unique texture of the material.
The side silhouette of the tumbler is made straight by post-processing from the mold, and finally polished to a matte finish.
■Careful attention to packaging
The packaging is made from 100% recycled paper [chipboard], which is made from used newspapers and magazines.
■Warm drinks are OK
While many products with high purity plant-derived ingredients do not have heat resistance functions, the plastic-free tumbler's heat resistance temperature is 120°C, so you can use it for warm drinks with peace of mind.
Materials in Harmony with the Earth
Approximately 86% of the plastic-free tumbler is made of corn-derived resin and paper, which are plant-derived components.
To these main ingredients, natural viscosity minerals (approx. 7%) and petroleum-derived additives (approx. 7%) are added to ensure the heat-resistant function. *1
The majority of the material is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by the action of microorganisms. *2
*1 Please be assured that the additives used at a minimum comply with the Food Sanitation Law stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
There are many eco-friendly products that do not mention additives.
Please be aware of this.
*2 The time and degree of decomposition will vary greatly depending on the environment, so 100% decomposition is not guaranteed.
Recycle instead of throw away
PAPLUS® products are incinerated if they are thrown away as garbage. However, we ask for your cooperation in collecting them as a resource and reprocessing them instead of incinerating them as garbage. Let's create a new cycle together.
Note: Recycling is only available for domestic operations in Japan.
