I drink my favorite fruit tea from a paper cup rather than its usual plastic container if I had bought it outside Makati.
You must remember that Makati city banned restaurants from using plastic cups, styrofoam containers and cups in all establishments many years ago. But is paper really the way to solve this plastic problem? Or is waxed paper yet another problem?
I used to sell a lot of brewed coffee in imported disposable paper cups as they had to be insulated enough for hot drinks and no local versions were yet available. Today, with coffee shops spreading like mushrooms, you can imagine how much paper cups are used for take out or to-go orders. Because of the reduced use of plastic, many manufacturers have closed down and moved on to new businesses. Paper mills are now very few because they cannot find suitable recyclable paper waste to feed their mills. Again, they are not able to use greasy paper or waxed paper. Further, if no waste segregation takes place, they will not find enough usable paper for their use. And the paper will end up in landfills and not in recycling plants. It was not as simple as shifting from plastic to paper.
There is so much to learn about plastics and paper.
