Paper cups have become a part of our lives everywhere we turn, cafes, offices, events, etc. With the world heading in the right direction and not using single-use plastics, biodegradable paper cups are emerging as a more responsible and sustainable option. They are not merely convenient, they are moving towards minimising the environmental footprint of our daily lives.
Ishwara, located in Shanti Auto Industries, is pleased to be a part of this and thus be a part of this progressive change where we design and produce clean, high quality disposable tea cups that will bring India and the world closer to a cleaner, greener future.
The key concept of biodegradable paper cups in India is rather straightforward, but the impact is substantial: once consumed, the cups may as well naturally decompose into non-toxic and non-harmful materials like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass with the help of microorganisms and other natural processes.
The biodegradable cups, when disposed in the right manner, can go back to nature unlike the traditional plastic cups which end up taking decades or centuries before they break down. They provide a more convenient and sensible alternative to the conventional single-use plastics to consumers and businesses alike.
1. Premium Paperboard Base
The Ishwara cups are produced using 100% ITC high-GSM paper that is responsibly sourced, making it strong, safe and sustainable. Paperboard is biodegradable in nature, and this is the basis of a product that is eco-friendly.
2. Eco-Conscious Coatings
PE (polyethylene) plastics are used to make the traditional paper cups waterproof. Ishwara does it in another way. We also propose bio-based or water-based coating, which is able to preserve performance without damaging the environment. The coating enables easier composting and biodegradation through appropriate conditions.
3. Safe Inks and Adhesives
We use printing up to sealing: our inks and adhesives comply with the environmentally friendly requirements. This will imply the reduction of chemical residue and cleaner composting.
Although biodegradability relies on the environmental factors, biodegradable paper cups are best utilized in the system of industrial composting where the heat, moisture, and aeration can be controlled and where the material can decompose in a few months.
The cups produced by Ishwara can reduce the amount of plastic waste even under less optimal conditions. Ishwara cups aim to minimise the long term landfill load in comparison with traditional cups that leave behind non degradable residues.
In areas with composting or waste-to-energy facilities, these cups can contribute to a circular waste system—one that converts everyday disposables into usable resources.
In Ishwara preaching biodegradable does not just mean marketing it but a promise to innovate. We know that to reach the state of full biodegradation, it is necessary not only to design the products responsibly but also to dispose of them and create appropriate waste management systems.
That’s why we:
We intend to create disposable products as good to the earth as they are easily accessible.
You are also welcome to join the change. Here’s how:
Check certifications: Search results should include such standards as EN 13432 or ASTM D6400 that ensure compostability.
Support composting: In case of availability, biodegradable waste should be separated to be composted.
Select environmentally friendly finishes: Inquire the suppliers of the nature of the lining.
Reduce and reuse: Reusables preferably, but dispositionally made biodegradable cups such as Ishwara are a good option.
Biodegradable paper cups are not a cab rank, it is a significant step towards a sustainable world. With a blend of creative design, conscious sourcing, and consumer education, we can quickly cut down on the single-use plastic waste.
We have always been practicing continuous improvement at Ishwara, and we are building better disposables, which decompose more, and are also better at protecting the environment.
Since sustainability is not a fad, but our pledge.
Q1: Are Ishwara paper cups truly eco friendly paper cups?
Yes. Ishwara works with high-GSM ITC paper and eco-friendly coatings which enable our cups to biodegrade and compost under appropriate conditions to help in cutting down on long-term waste.
Q2: How long does biodegradation take?
In the industrial composting condition, our cups can be broken down in a few months. Natural circumstances can slow down, relying on the temperature, humidity and microbes.
Q3: What coatings does Ishwara use?
We also have biodegradable or water coating which is durable unlike the conventional plastic lining.
Q4: Why choose biodegradable cups over plastic?
We also have biodegradable or water coating which is durable unlike the conventional plastic lining.
Q5: How is Ishwara contributing to sustainability?
Production of 100% ITC paper disposables, the reduction of plastic content, the use of sustainable materials, and social education on the proper management of waste.
