However, limitations persist, such as the cost differential compared to plastic alternatives and concerns over the recyclability of certain paper cups. Challenges also include fluctuating raw material prices and the need to innovate within regulatory frameworks. Companies should focus on areas of innovation such as enhancing the insulation properties of paper cups or integrating smart technologies for improved customer engagement.
