Nautilus · By Jake Currie ·
The Brief
- A new coffee cup coating is reported to help block microplastics.
- The coating is also described as making recycling easier.
- Only a single news article was available, so details of the coating's composition and testing are unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Many disposable coffee cups use plastic linings that complicate recycling and can shed microplastics, so a plastic-free coating could matter for packaging materials research and waste handling.
