Most paper tableware is "plastic" because of the PE film laminated to it. KYSON removes that film at the coating level — the single decision that changes your compliance story under EU law.
| Dimension | Conventional (PE lamination) | KYSON (water-based coating) |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic content | Contains a plastic (PE) film | No plastic film — water-based barrier |
| EU SUPD status | Plastic-containing single-use product — restricted | Not a single-use plastic — verified |
| Recyclability | Hard to separate in paper stream | Certified 93% recyclable (DIN EN ISO 14021) |
| Compostability | Not compostable | Industrially & home compostable (EN 13432 / NF T51-800 / AS 5810) |
| Food contact | EU compliant | EU compliant (EC 1935/2004 + 10/2011) |
| Best for | Markets without plastic bans | EU PPWR / SUPD-exposed supply |
