The table compares the six in different types of materials utilized to make 1000 disposable cups namely polystyrene and paper cups.
Overall, it can be clearly seen from the table that the significant amount of steam required to make polystyrene cups, whereas for paper cups it demand the least portion of steam, while, it need vast proportion of electricity and water.
Analysing the data in more detail, For making 1000 polystyrene cups it consumed considerable amount of steam and other chemicals around 130kg and 13kg, respectively. Moreover, it need 8kg of petroleum followed by 660 kilowats electricity. However, only 0.6ms of water required for it and no need of wood.
Moving further towards the rest of the data, On the other hand, wood is required the most For paper cups as compare to Polystyrene 220kg then 78 Kilowats of electricity, while small amount of petroleum, water and other chemical needed, which accounted for 18kg, 10ms and 8kg. However only 0.56kg of steam utilized for making paper cups
