Zero-Microplastic Paper Cups in Pune

Pune's IT parks — Hinjewadi, Magarpatta, Kharadi, and EON Free Zone — house hundreds of thousands of employees who consume millions of cups of tea and coffee weekly through office pantries and cafeterias. The city's 2,500+ cloud kitchens and growing café scene (Koregaon Park, FC Road, Viman Nagar) add to the packaging demand. Maharashtra's plastic ban applies to Pune as well, and companies with sustainability mandates — Infosys, TCS, Persistent Systems — are actively seeking verified eco alternatives. Pratva's aqueous-coated cups offer the aqueous-coated zero-plastic option that integrates with Pune's existing paper waste recycling infrastructure, meaning no new waste management processes needed.

Every standard PE-coated paper cup releases approximately 25,000 microplastic particles into hot beverages. Pratva’s aqueous-coated cups are CPPRI-tested 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.
