What is Driving Demand for Paper Glass?

Increased demand for disposable packets at fast-service restaurants to prevent leaks or spills of beverages will create future paper glass market demand.

However, the availability of cheap replacement materials, such as Styrofoam, plastic, and glass cups, poses a serious risk to the sale of Glasses worldwide.
