II. The advantages of ice cream cup paper
A. Environmental friendliness
1. The degradability of ice cream cup paper
The material used for ice cream cup paper is mostly paper. It has good biodegradability and strong compatibility with natural circulation in the environment. After daily use, throwing it into a recyclable trash won't pollute our environment . At the same time, some paper cups made of certain materials can even be composted in the home yard. And it can be recycled back into the ecosystem, with minimal impact on the environment.
2. Environmental impact compared to plastic cups
Compared to paper cups, plastic cups have poor biodegradability. It'll not only pollute the environment, but also damage animals and ecosystems. Besides, the manufacturing process of plastic cups costs a large amount of energy and raw materials. That poses a certain burden on the environment.
B. Health
1. Ice cream cup paper does not contain harmful substances of plastic
The paper raw materials used in ice cream paper cup are natural and free from harmful substances. They are harmless to human health.
2. The harm of plastic cups to human health

It may contaminate food and pose a threat to human health. Also, some plastic cups may contain harmful chemicals to the human body. (Such as benzene, formaldehyde, etc.)
C. Convenience of production and processing
1. The production and processing process of ice cream cup paper
In daily use, discarded ice cream cup paper can be easily recycled, recycled, and disposed of. Meanwhile, some professional waste paper recycling enterprises can reuse the recycled cup paper. Thus, it'll reduce the impact of waste cup paper on the environment.
2. The production and processing process of plastic cups
Compared to paper cups, the production process of plastic cups requires more energy and raw materials. And additives and chemicals are required during the production process. That'll result in significant environmental pollution. Besides, the disposal of plastic cups is relatively troublesome. And some plastic cups require professional treatment technology. It has high treatment costs and low efficiency. That leads to an increasing amount of plastic waste and exacerbates environmental pollution issues.
So, compared to plastic cups, ice cream cup paper has better environmental and health benefits. And its convenience of production and processing is also better. So, in daily life, we should choose to use ice cream cup paper as much as possible. That help to achieve the goals of environmental protection, health, and sustainable development. At the same time, we should also handle ice cream cup paper correctly, recycle it and reuse it to minimize environmental pollution.
