Paper Cups Production from Pulping, Bleaching, and Heating

This report provides the cost structure of paper cups by pulping, bleaching, and heating processes. The process involves turning wood chips into wood pulp, mashing into paper, and bleaching using chemicals like chlorine, and sodium hydroxide.  A thin layer of plastic or wax is applied on the paper to make it waterproof. It is then rolled into a cup shape and heated to seal the plastic on the paper.
