Zero-Microplastic Paper Cups in Agra

Agra's hospitality industry serves an estimated 7–8 million domestic and international tourists annually. From chai served at rooftop cafés overlooking the Taj to petha packaged in Sadar Bazaar sweet shops, disposable packaging is everywhere. Most of it is PE-coated — shedding microplastics into every hot drink. With the Agra Municipal Corporation increasingly focused on waste management around the Taj Trapezium Zone, switching to CPPRI-certified re-pulpable cups isn't just a health decision — it aligns with the city's push to reduce non-recyclable plastic waste in one of India's most environmentally sensitive heritage zones.

Every standard PE-coated paper cup releases approximately 25,000 microplastic particles into hot beverages. Pratva’s aqueous-coated cups are CPPRI-certified to contain zero plastic film — meaning zero microplastic shedding, full re-pulpability with normal paper waste, and compliance with FDA 21 CFR and FSSAI food safety standards.
