Disposable glasses are used almost everywhere, in schools, at hospitals, in offices, on trains etc. Exact origins of these glasses are unknown. After all, who had an idea of making disposable beverage holders out of paper? But we all know that disposable glasses started gaining popularity around the beginning of the 1900s, when people started realizing that sharing the same ladle or tin from water barrels can lead to sharing of germs as well. Disposable glasses are the perfect way of improving public hygiene, as they eliminate the need of sharing glasses for drinking. During the 1918 American flu epidemic, these glasses became extremely popular as a means of preventing infection.

Types of disposable glasses

Disposable glasses come in a variety of forms:

Glasses for hot drinks like tea and coffee
Glasses for cold beverages like milk and soda

These glasses can be made from board or paper, typically produced out of sustainable forest resources. A Polypropylene sheet can be laminated to form a single sheet, then shaped into a glass cylinder, and bottom fastened with a disc to form a standard disposable glass. These glasses can be made in different sizes, capacities, colors and dimensions.
