For instance, Smart Planet Technologies’ new coating formulation called EarthCoating for its new ‘reCUP’ is anticipated to remain fully compatible with conventional paper recycling systems.

“A visible paradigm shift to sustainability, combined with government initiatives and regulations calling for reduced carbon footprint, is providing a robust push to the sales of eco-friendly paper cups”, explains the senior analyst.
