A. Material selection

Firstly, select by specific gravity. The specific gravity of the material is based on the weight of the cup. Light materials are relatively portable to use, while heavy materials are relatively more solid and durable.

Secondly, the selection is made through the production process of materials. Considering the manufacturing and production process of cups, it is necessary to choose a material that is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
