Hectic, busy lifestyles lead cash-rich and time-poor consumers to use single use OOH cups. This growth is expected to continue, driven by the demand for convenience by consumers (Chaudhuri 2018). Between 20, the number of coffee shops increased 16% and 28% in the US and UK, respectively. Recent surveys estimate the market size for single-use OOH hot paper coffee cups at 118 billion units per year with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% to reach 294 billion units by 2025 (iMarc 2020). Fahm St., 2981, Savannah, GA, USA 31402 *Corresponding author: popularity of cafés and the like have created a worldwide explosion in the consumption of out-of-home (OOH) coffee and coffee beverages.

Nick Triantafillopoulos a and Alexander A. The Future of Single-use Paper Coffee Cups: Current Progress and Outlook
Specifically, this includes: changes in consumer behavior brand owner initiatives to meet sustainability goals governmental policies that limit or forbid use of fossil-based cups and easily accessible infrastructures at the consumer level for the collection, separation, and processing of biodegradable cups.
It is clear that broad adoption of proposed solutions will require an integrated commitment and approach to circular economics. Multiple efforts to effectively develop a more environmentally friendly paper cup are also examined. Special attention is paid to the rapidly evolving, alternative large-scale production of bioplastics. Many of these material solutions are also compostable. In this paper, current and emerging commercial material technologies used in the production of paper-based coffee cups that are readily recyclable with other paper grades are reviewed. As a result, material substitutes for polyethylene liners are emerging to solve the problem of waste cups. Paper-based coffee cups is one product segment where effective recycling of waste cups remains elusive. The expanded use of environmentally friendly and sustainable foodservice packaging continues to be a prime focus of stakeholders across the foodservice value chain.
