How to Prevent Leaking Coffee Cup Lids?

1. The lid of the coffee cup is 100% recyclable, which can reduce the material by 25%

A coffee lid for serving and retail that has unique properties in the form of 25% less material required in function, design and manufacturing. The lid is made of 100% recycled material cellulose fiber. It is fully biodegradable in soil and marine environments. The new revolutionary design gives the coffee cup itself a stabilizing effect while maintaining its own physical properties of exposure to hot coffee, water. Goods and services affect the environment throughout their life cycle; at all stages of manufacture, use, recycling, material recovery, waste disposal and transportation. Transitioning to more sustainable alternatives is not only good for the environment, but also for our health.

Recycling - recovering material from waste - is a step in the European Union's so-called waste hierarchy. It sets out policy and legislative priorities for reducing environmental impact. The first step in the hierarchy is to prevent waste or even generation, then promote recycling, then material recycling and other recycling, such as energy recycling.

2. How to prevent the coffee cup lid from leaking

We sometimes hear about leaking coffee cup lids, so here's a quick way to prevent leaks. It turns out that the way these lids are placed on the cup is wrong, and here's the right way.

(1) The first tip is to choose the correct coffee lid. It has to be the correct size and style as not every lid will fit every cup and not all lids are of good quality so they can be fragile or break easily.

(2) The second trick to prevent leaks is to make sure you push the cap down until you feel it snap or pop into place. Continue to press down on the lid with your palm and apply even pressure until the lid pops out. You'll see that there's a small groove on the inside of the lid that fits into the rolled rim of the coffee cup, and a snap or pop confirms that the rim is properly seated in the coffee cup lid design.

(3) The third trick to prevent leakage is to align the nozzle directly with the seam of the cup. Due to the manufacturing process, the cup has a small seam that runs along the side of the cup to the rim. This can cause the area that is sealed with the lid to be a bit uneven and create a small opening there, and if that seam, if it's under the spout, the coffee will hit that space and leak when you tip it to drink. However, if you rotate the coffee lid so the spout is opposite the seam, you won't get drips when you tilt the spout. So make sure you're using the correct lid, let the lid pop out, and align the lid opening opposite the cup opening.
