How many cups have you swallowed?
Every disposable tea or coffee cup leaks roughly 25,000 microplastic particles into your drink. Slide your habits below and see exactly what your café routine is doing — to you, and to the planet.

The hidden cost in every paper cup
Most people picture paper cups as "just paper." They're not. Here's what science says is actually happening.
Microplastics in your tea
IIT Kharagpur (2022) found a single hot drink in a paper cup releases ~25,000 microplastic particles in 15 minutes — they pass straight into your bloodstream.
1,000 cups = 1 tree
A typical paper cup uses virgin wood pulp. Two cups a day for a decade means ~7 trees felled — just for one person's morning chai.
Not actually recyclable
The PE plastic lining bonded to paper makes 99.75% of paper cups non-recyclable. They go straight to landfill — where they sit for 20–30 years.
You can stop counting cups. Start counting leaves.
Every EcoRyn cup you choose replaces a microplastic-shedding paper cup with a compostable banana-leaf one — at the same price. Multiply your numbers by 365 and decide.
