Kevin Fiur presentation of 100% recyclable cup technology

1. The World’s First 100% Recyclable
Cup
Rhee Cup (Songzee EFC Company
Ltd., Korea)
Confidential Presentation
to Starbucks
10/11/2013

2. The Cup Dilemma
•
•
•
•
•
The cup is Starbucks’ No. 1 environmental liability from the customer’s perspective.
•
Significant investment and MIT cup summits have not produced results.
Stated goal of 100% recyclable cups by 2012 not yet met.
Existing disposable paper cups are not truly recyclable.
Primarily due to coating using PE or PLA.
Alternatives to date are lacking in heat resistance, oil resistance, adhesion and print
quality.

3. The Solution
100% Recyclable
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
100% biodegradable and recyclable-same as paper.
Coated with water-based coating agent (copolymer), harmless to humans.
Reduces costs by using less pulp.
Superior thermal, oil, water and alcohol resistance.
Excellent print quality. More vivid than PE based cups.
Reduces carbon emissions by 40% compared to PE.
Protected by trade secrets and patent (pending).

4. The Process
Trade Secrets and Patent (Pending)
•
Cup can be mass produced using virgin or recycled pulp and traditional cup
manufacturing machinery.
•
Trade secrets cover: 1) process of breaking down chemical components to
increase quality and productivity from comparable products; 2) coating
process; and 4) forming cups and sealing system.
•
Patent covers the method for preparing the coating solution.
