Leveraging ‘Recyclable’ Plastics despite Environmental Concerns
Manufacturers are leveraging recyclable plastics such as, polypropylene (PP), for the production of disposable lids owing to high impermeability property – absorbing less than 0.01% of liquid. The propylene-based disposable lids offer resistance against mould, and bacteria, making them highly suitable for medical purposes, including healthcare meal delivery. PET disposable lids are crystal clear, corresponding to consumers’ demand for transparent covering. Further, the utilization of recyclable plastics in disposable lids ensure 100% degradation over time.
However, rising concerns over increasing environmental issues and worsening global waste crisis are compelling policy makers across the globe to institute bans on the consumption of plastic-based disposable lids, on the account of their snail-paced degradation. Moreover, plastic-based disposable lids result in leaching of EA (Estrogenic Activity) and toxics chemicals after getting exposed to extreme conditions, and microwave radiation.

Silicone-Based Lids – A Gateway to ‘Zero Plastic’ Zone
Disposable lids manufacturers are creating reusable silicone lids that are highly compatible with almost every paper coffee cup, and acts as a great sealant for leak-tight travel, thereby diminishing the reliance on plastic-based disposable lids. The silicone-based reusable lids encompass a strap that provides tight closure for beverages, and drink during transport. The silicone lids come with a quick-dry bag, allowing consumers to toss it in their bags prior drinking the beverage. In addition, the silicone reusable lids fit on usual soda cups to eliminate straws.
Silicone reusable lids offer insulation to up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, making them a great fit for microwaving, and frying. For protection against bacteria, silicone reusable lids deliver airtight seal with a flat rim, keeping the consumables pristine and secured. The silicone material enables straightforward cleaning on grounds of wide and hard-wearing properties, resistant against water spots, and stains.
The silicone-based lids are highly reusable, saving further expenses, and do not pose any health-related concerns. Furthermore, the silicone-based disposable lids are LFGB (Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch)-graded and BPA (Bisphenol) free, making them a potential substitution for plastic lids.

How Growth will Unfold
The global disposable lids market is set to spectate a moderate progress over the foreseeable timeframe amidst tight government regulations regarding environmental safety. With recyclable plastics such as, PP, and PET being outlawed from countries across the globe, manufacturers are inclining towards disposal lids made from silicone. The silicone-base lids are reusable, reducing landfilling incidents.
Growth in various verticals including food & beverage, food packaging, online food ordering, and others, persist to remain the tailwinds to the growth of the disposable lids market globally. The quest of satiating time-pressed and demanding lifestyles of the demographic is influencing manufacturers to design easy-going, and leak-proof disposable lids for fast-paced service.
