New Breakthrough in green packaging: Jiaoda Nasi has launched fully degradable "plastic-free paper cups", solving the problem of paper cup recycling

Under the dual impetus of the global "plastic restriction and ban" trend and the demand for sustainable consumption, the environmental pollution problems caused by traditional plastic-coated paper cups have become increasingly prominent. Today, a technology innovation enterprise located in Nanjing Jiangbei New Area - Jiaoda Nasi (Nanjing) Technology Co., LTD. - announced that its truly "plastic-free paper cups" produced based on the core "biodegradable water-based barrier coating" technology have achieved large-scale production and been launched to the market. This product is expected to fundamentally solve the problems of difficult recycling and degradation of traditional paper cups caused by plastic lamination.

Industry pain point: Paper cups bound by "plastic underwear"

The common paper cups in daily life are usually coated with a thin layer of polyethylene (PE) plastic film on the inner wall to achieve the effect of water and oil resistance. It is precisely this layer of "plastic underwear" that makes paper cups extremely difficult to degrade in the natural environment. When recycled, they cannot be pulped and reused like ordinary waste paper. Most of them can only be incinerated or landfilled, becoming an invisible contributor to "white pollution".

Technological Breakthrough: The "Water Instead of Plastic" solution originated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Relying on the top-notch scientific research strength of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Jiao Da Na Si Company has spent years in research and development and successfully launched a biodegradable water-based barrier coating with complete independent intellectual property rights. This technology discards traditional plastics and uses natural and bio-based materials to make water-based coatings, which are adhered to the paper base through a precise coating process.

Our coating not only achieves outstanding water resistance, oil resistance and heat resistance (up to 90℃), but also its core material can be completely biodegraded within a few months in a specific composting environment, eventually converting into carbon dioxide, water and organic matter. The company's R&D director introduced, "More importantly, the paper cups coated with our coating can be directly put into the recycling system as waste paper after use, and can be smoothly repulped, achieving true 'paper-plastic integrated recycling', with huge circular value."

Market application: From catering to daily use, the preferred choice for green transformation

At present, the "plastic-free paper cup" product line of Jiaoda Nasi has comprehensively covered various models such as hot drink cups, cold drink cups, coffee cups, and paper bowls, and all have passed the food contact safety certification of authoritative institutions at home and abroad. In addition to directly targeting the terminal consumer market, the company also provides customized eco-friendly packaging solutions for chain restaurants, high-end food brands, hotels and the aviation industry.

For export-oriented enterprises, the pressure from regulations such as the EU's SUP directive and plastic taxes in various countries is increasing. Our "plastic-free paper cups" offer a compliant and uncompromising alternative in terms of performance, and have received very positive market feedback. The company's marketing director said.

Future Outlook: Protecting the green mountains and clear waters through innovation

As an enterprise with the mission of "caring for nature and safeguarding health", Jiaoda Nasi's vision goes beyond paper cups. Its water-based barrier coating technology can be widely applied in multiple fields such as food packaging, inner trays of electronic products, and packaging of daily chemical products, replacing various non-biodegradable plastic packaging.

We believe that true environmental protection is not merely about substitution, but about providing the best solution that combines performance, cost and ecological benefits. The founder of the company stated, "The 'plastic-free paper cup' is just the starting point. We will continue to invest in research and development, join hands with partners in the industrial chain, and jointly promote the green revolution in the packaging industry, contributing technological strength to protecting the green mountains and clear waters."
