And it will explore cups' compliance with environmental standards, and their environmental advantages. The aim is to explore the development prospects of paper ice cream cups in the European market.

II. Overview of European Environmental Standards

1. The significance and background of European environmental standards

Europe is one of the regions with advanced global environmental awareness and strict environmental requirements. The development of European environmental standards aims to protect the natural environment. And it can improve ecology, prevent pollution, and reduce energy consumption. Besides, environmental standards can also promote the updating and upgrading of production processes and technologies in enterprises. Then, it can promote their development towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction. And thus that can promote sustainable economic development.

2. Specific requirements and limitations of European environmental standards

In Europe, there are strict environmental requirements for products such as food packaging. Generally speaking, European environmental standards generally require compliance with the following aspects:

(1) Recyclable. The product itself should not cause pollution to the environment and can be recycled and treated after use.

(2) Products will not cause irreversible environmental damage. The use and disposal of products should not cause serious damage and harm to the environment.

(3) Materials and manufacturing processes should consume resources and energy as little as possible. And it should minimize the generation of waste and pollution.

(4) The environmental impact and waste generated during product use should be controlled. Thus, this can ensure that the impact on the environment is minimized.

Thus, for products like paper ice cream cups, they need to comply with a series of environmental standards in the European market. This aspect is manifested in various aspects.  (Such as raw materials, production processes, and transportation methods.) For example, the raw materials for paper ice cream cups should be recyclable and biodegradable. And the production process needs to adopt low-carbon and efficient methods to. Thus, it can minimize material and energy consumption as much as possible.  Besides, environmentally friendly methods need to be adopted for the transportation and packaging.

III. Materials and production process of paper ice cream cups

1. Material types and properties of paper ice cream cups

The main materials of paper ice cream cups are paper and coating film. The commonly used materials for coating films include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), etc.). The properties of materials mainly include load-bearing capacity, leakage resistance, water resistance, high temperature resistance, oil resistance, etc.). Paper can be made of different materials. (Such as white cardboard, colored cardboard, and kraft paper, and coated or coated as needed to increase water and oil resistance.)

2. Production process of paper ice cream cups

(1) Material preparation. Cut the required paper and coating film and apply coating or coating treatment.

(2) Printing. Print the required patterns or text.

(3) Forming. Using modern die-cutting machines or molding machines to shape and cut the material, forming the cup body and lid.

(4) Edge pressing and rolling. Press or roll the edges of the cup mouth and bottom to increase their resistance to deformation, firmness, and aesthetics.

(5) Production inspection. Conduct visual inspection, measurement, quality inspection, and packaging of the finished product.

(6) Packaging and transportation. Arrange packaging and transportation as needed.

3. Possible environmental issues in the production of paper ice cream cups

During the production process of paper ice cream cups, there may be the following environmental issues:

(1) Water pollution. The chemicals contained in the coating film may cause pollution to the water environment.

(2) Solid waste. The waste paper can be generated during the production process. And the waste also can occur during the cutting and forming process. Those will generate a certain amount of solid waste.

(3) Energy consumption. The production process requires a certain amount of energy. (Such as electricity and heat.)

In order to reduce these environmental issues, production processes can be optimized to minimize the generation of waste as much as possible. At the same time, recyclable materials can be used and waste paper can be classified and treated. Manufacturers can promote energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, reduce energy consumption. And thus they can reduce the impact on the environment.

IV. Does the paper ice cream cup meet European environmental standards

1. Environmental requirements for food packaging materials in Europe

The European Union has strict environmental requirements for the use of food packaging materials. Those may include as followings:
