For decades, eco friendly tea cups and the standard disposable cup has been a staple in cafes, tea stalls, corporate offices, and events across the globe. However, as awareness of plastic pollution grows, businesses are realizing that traditional cups come with a massive environmental cost.
As India enforces stricter regulations on single-use plastics, making the switch to eco-friendly tea cups is no longer just a trend, it is a regulatory and moral necessity. At SAKRT, we are committed to providing businesses with 100% compostable food packaging that protects both consumer health and the environment.
Here is why your business needs to transition to biodegradable disposable cups today, and how they help solve the global plastic waste crisis.
The Hidden Plastic Problem in Traditional Disposable Cups
When most people toss a standard paper cup into a recycling bin, they assume they are making an environmentally responsible choice. Unfortunately, the reality of standard disposable cups is much darker.
Why Standard "Paper" Cups Are Not Eco-Friendly
Traditional paper cups used for hot beverages like tea and coffee cannot hold liquid on their own; if they did, the paper would instantly turn to mush. To prevent leaks, manufacturers line the inside of these paper cups with a thin layer of petroleum-based polyethylene (PE) plastic.
Because the plastic is fused tightly to the paper, standard recycling facilities cannot separate the two materials. As a result, billions of these cups end up in landfills or incinerators every single year, taking decades to break down.

How Eco-Friendly Tea Cups Solve the Waste Crisis
True eco-friendly tea cups eliminate the need for petroleum-based plastics entirely, offering a safe, sustainable alternative that performs just as well as traditional options.
100% Biodegradable and Renewable Materials
SAKRT’s eco-friendly cups are manufactured using sustainably sourced, renewable plant-based materials. Instead of depleting fossil fuels, these cups rely on agricultural byproducts and natural fibers, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process.
Leak-Resistant, Plant-Based Linings
To make the cups waterproof and capable of holding boiling hot tea, we replace the toxic PE plastic with a 100% compostable inner lining (such as PLA Polylactic Acid, derived from corn starch). This plant-based lining is fully leak-resistant but breaks down naturally under composting conditions
