Paper Cup History

HISTORY OF CARTON CUP

The modern form of the Paper Cup was found in the early 20th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, water consumption in schools and trains was shared with glass and taps. This common use has caused health concerns among the public. Alvin Davison, professor of biology at Lafayette College, published in the Technical World Magazine in August 1908 with the sensational headline “Death in School Cups” and based on research conducted at Easton, Pennsylvania’s public schools, is influential for the importance of paper cup consumption. it is a research. The article was reprinted and circulated by the Massachusetts State Board of Health in November 1909. As a result of these concerns, the production and consumption of paper products became widespread and more accessible. Local bans were imposed on communal cups. One of the first railroad companies to use disposable paper cups, the Lackawanna Railroad began consuming paper cups from 1909. In 1917, even in jurisdictions where communal use continues and has not yet been banned, communal glass cups in railway wagons have been replaced by paper cups.

Cardboard cups are used in hospitals for health reasons. In 1942, a Massachusetts State College study found that the cost of using a reusable-washable glass cup after sterilization was 1.6 times more than the cost of using a disposable paper cup. These studies have increased the use of disposable paper cup consumption in every sector. Especially the use of cardboard cups with logo has increased day by day.

As in its history, the demand for cardboard cups has increased with each passing time, with the priority of hygiene. Especially with the Covid-19 epidemic that our world has been in recently, the demand of consumers for more hygienic disposable cardboard cups has increased.
