History of paper cups
The history of paper cups began in the early 20th century when Lawrence Luellen invented the Dixie Cup in 1907 to provide a hygienic, disposable alternative to communal drinking cups. In the 1920s, paper cups were coated with wax to prevent leaks, and their use spread quickly in public spaces. The 1950s and 1960s saw further growth, with companies like McDonald's and Starbucks adopting paper cups for convenience. However, environmental concerns about their recyclability emerged in the 1970s, leading to efforts to make paper cups more sustainable.
