The sleeve on the Desto^® cup is released by mechanical pressure to ensure easy detachment from the packaging container. This is achieved either when the consumer crumples the packaging or by mechanical pressure during subsequent waste separation. For this purpose, a weakening line was placed on the cuff instead of the conventional separation strip. This line runs parallel to the lateral edges and is created by perforation, pre-scoring or other weakening methods. This enables easy and efficient separation of the different waste components and facilitates the recycling process.

The cuff is made of an easily printable material with an appealing look and feel for attractive presentation of products and brands. What’s more, the cuff is thermally insulating to keep food and beverages hot or cold for longer.
An ultra-thin plastic inlay made of PP, PS, r-PS, PET or rPET is enveloped in cardboard or paper up to the sealing edge. This cover gives the cup the necessary stability, despite the reduced share of plastic. The cardboard is easily removed from the inlay, so that the materials can be separated and then recycled.
