Paper cups used in India today

0

Based on 6.3 crore cups/day (2026 estimate). Every cup has a plastic lining, technically recyclable, but the lining makes separation uneconomical, so it almost never happens in practice. The vendor didn't choose this. It's just the default.

📈 At 2.23% CAGR, India will use ~7 crore cups/day by 2030, ~7.8 crore by 2035
