The “Paper Lids” line make up the new environmentally friendly range by Imballaggi Alimentari, designed and created to complete their range of paper drink cups. Matching the lid’s cellulose material with that of the cups helps the consumers separate their trash; therefore, recycling is facilitated as foreseen by the recent European directive. Imballaggi Alimentari has thus created coordinated accessories made with two different types of paper. The lids produced with white paper and lined with PE can be recycled with paper waste after being used. They hence contribute to the circular economy as they aim to reduce not only the consumption of natural resources and raw materials, but also the amount of trash ending up in landfills. Eco-friendly matching lids IMBALLAGGI ALIMENTARI The Bio-Eco lids made with bamboo paper and lined with PLA can be disposed of with organic waste since they are biodegradable and compostable. Alternatively, they can also be recycled with paper waste. Furthermore, the lids, just like the single-use cups made of the same material, are environmentally friendly because they are made with bamboo cellulose, a raw material that helps prevent deforestation. Bamboo has a quick and spontaneous growth cycle, avoiding uselessly cutting down tall trees that need at least thirty years to grow back. To satisfy new consumption habits, the new paper lids are suitable for delivery, takeaway, and on-the-go consumption. They are ideal for topping single-use paper cups for hot and cold drinks, and they are available as flat no hole lids, to preserve the warmth and aroma of drinks such as coffee and cappuccinos; with a spout perfect for sipping as you walk; and with a cross-cut strawslot for drinks with a straw.
