Why is it so hard to recycle paper cups?
To meet hygiene needs paper cups are made out of virgin materials, which means they could be recycled in theory. However, to be able to drink out of the cup, most cups need to have a lining to hold the liquid – traditionally being PE (polyethylene lining) which is non-recyclable and to separate the lining from the paper is very hard to do.
Don’t be a ‘wishcycler’ by putting cups in a paper recycling bin or mixed recycling bins – they won’t get recycled – and worse, will just contaminate recycling.
So to speak, it is not easy to recycle paper cups as we think. It may take from weeks to years to be fully recycled for use.

P.S I only drink black tea from time to time there. I neither like fast food nor Oqtepalavash. Plus, for the sake of tagline as well: Bardamlik uchun😁
