The Cup Dilemma

• The cup is Starbucks’ No. 1 environmental liability from the customer’s perspective.

• Stated goal of 100% recyclable cups by 2012 not yet met.

• Existing disposable paper cups are not truly recyclable.

• Primarily due to coating using PE or PLA.

• Alternatives to date are lacking in heat resistance, oil resistance, adhesion and print quality.

• Significant investment and MIT cup summits have not produced results.

The Solution

• 100% biodegradable and recyclable-same as paper.

• Coated with water-based coating agent (copolymer), harmless to humans.

• Reduces costs by using less pulp.

• Superior thermal, oil, water and alcohol resistance.

• Excellent print quality. More vivid than PE based cups.

• Reduces carbon emissions by 40% compared to PE.

• Protected by trade secrets and patent (pending).

100% Recyclable

The ProcessTrade Secrets and Patent (Pending)

• Cup can be mass produced using virgin or recycled pulp and traditional cup manufacturing machinery.

• Trade secrets cover: 1) process of breaking down chemical components to increase quality and productivity from comparable products; 2) coating process; and 4) forming cups and sealing system.

• Patent covers the method for preparing the coating solution.
