QUESTION

Plastic cups were used to serve tea in trains in early days- these could be returned to the vendors, cleaned and reused. Later, Kulhads were used instead of plastic cups. Now, paper cups are used for serving tea. What are the reasons for the shift from Plastic to Kulhads and then finally to paper cups?

Answer:

Use of plastic cups raised the concern towards hygiene, and thus they were replaced by

disposable plastic cups. Plastic cups are non-biodegradable and harm the environment.

They were thus replaced by Kulhads. Making Kulhad made of clay on a large scale resulted

in the loss of top fertile soil. Now, disposable paper cups are used because paper can be

recycled, it is biodegradable and is eco-friendly material which does not cause

environmental pollution.

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct answer is because the paper cups are the most feasible.

Explanation: Plastic cups has been a boon in the earlier times as at that time India had a large land less population and very less pollution but as the time passed the population, pollution, and land accumulation raised very high which led to deforestation and adverse effects of pollution on biodiversity and one of the reasons is plastic cups because they are nonbiodegradable and they remain in the soil and damage it hence paper cups are used as kulaks also used to destroy soil and caused water pollution.
