With the rise of global environmental awareness, disposable cassava cups are creating a new environmental trend with their unique environmental characteristics. Let’s explore how this innovative product has made breakthroughs in regulations, user needs, and sustainable recycling, bringing positive changes to Taiwan and even the global environment.

Global Environmental Protection Regulations and Trends

Today, more and more cities and countries are actively revising environmental protection regulations to ban or limit the use of disposable plastic products. Regulations to reduce and ban the use of disposable plastic food containers are also being implemented around the world [1]. That’s why we promote compostable and biodegradable cassava food containers as the most environmentally friendly alternative.

Taiwan gradually upgrades environmental regulations on plastic reduction for disposable food containers: In addition to recycling cups, you have more choices

The Taiwanese government is also taking active actions in environmental protection. Recently, the Taipei City Government passed the Regulations on the Management of the Use of Disposable Plastic Products, requiring catering operators to gradually reduce the use of plastic food containers [2]. Tapioca cups that do not contain coatings or any plastic components will become a wise choice that complies with regulations.

Simple, environmentally friendly, and meets users’ all-round application needs

We hope that when you walk into any coffee shop in Taiwan, you will see many people enjoying a new coffee experience. Whether they are busy office workers or students relaxing on weekends, they can choose cassava cups for use. These cups are not only environmentally friendly, but also have excellent heat insulation and heat resistance properties, ensuring that you do not feel hot when holding the drink, and are environmentally friendly when tasting coffee.

Product life cycle, sustainable recycling

The environmental value of the cassava cup is not only reflected in its use process, but also in its complete life cycle. First, the cassava cups are made using renewable cassava starch rather than limited petrochemical resources. When you are done using the cassava cups, they can be crushed and buried in the soil, where they can provide trace nutrients that plants need for planting, or they can quickly decompose into harmless organic matter in the natural environment. Eventually, they help with cassava cultivation and come back into your hands for use.

Participate in green actions together in a simple and comfortable way

Whether we are Taiwanese companies or environmental enthusiasts around the world, we can all participate in green actions by choosing cassava cups. Without changing any of your usage habits, you can simply and comfortably contribute to protecting our earth.
