Can these cardboard cups be used for hot beverages?

Yes, the polyethylene‑lined interior allows the cup to hold hot liquids for a short time, typically up to about 80 °C, but prolonged heat can soften the lining and affect stability.

Are the cups recyclable and how should they be disposed of after use?

The cardboard shell can be placed in paper recycling if the inner plastic layer is removed; otherwise, the cup should be discarded in the residual waste bin according to local recycling rules.

Are the cups safe to use in a microwave or near open flames?

The cups are not microwave‑safe and should never be heated in a microwave, and they should be kept away from open flames because the paper can ignite easily.

Product Insights

This product is a pack of twelve 20 cL red cardboard cups marketed under the Carrefour Home brand for serving drinks. The cups are lightweight, disposable and feature a thin polyethylene lining that provides a liquid‑proof barrier, making them convenient for quick set‑ups at home or small events. Because they are single‑use and contain a plastic coating, they generate waste and are less environmentally friendly than reusable drinkware.

Comparative Analysis

In the disposable drinkware market, these red 20 cL cardboard cups stand out for their bright color and bulk packaging at a low price, but their single‑use design and limited recyclability place them behind reusable alternatives.
