Hi

Here devil1407

The use of disposable paper cups has the following advantages over the plastic cups:

a) Paper cups are biodegradable. So, even if paper cups are thrown away after use, they will decompose (break down ) automatically by the action of micro-organisms in due course of time. On the other hand, plastic cups are non - biodegradable. They will remain as such and pollute the environment.

b) Paper cups can even be disposed of by burning without causing much air pollution. On the other hand, burning plastic cups produces toxic gases (poisonous gases) which cause too much air pollution.

Hope it helps U
