Q. What is a plastic tumbler?

Answer

The use of plastic cups is common during social gatherings where doing dishes afterward would be a hassle owing to factors like the venue or guest count. Most liquids can be stored in plastic cups without issue, however, hot liquids may melt or deform the material. Whether to use paper or plastic cups depends on how long a user intends to keep them around after they've been used. Comparatively, a paper cup may biodegrade more quickly than an eps foam or plastic cup. Due to the high percentage of wood chips (up to 95%) used in their production, cardboard and paper typically biodegrade in one to three months.
