Water-based coated paper cups are also called barrier-coated paper cups, which are not coated because the coating itself is heat-sealable. Cups are heat sealed and pressure formed from seam lines and base material. At the same time, because of its home and industrial composting, degradable, and recyclable characteristics, replacing the current PE or PLA, the water-based coated paper cup can be recycled while still maintaining the performance of the current product.
