> Also not everything can be paper. A coffee cup can never be fully paper, it needs a plastic lining and can thus never be recyclable There are bioplatic liners for paper coffee cups that allow them to be fully compostable, though. I have sitting next to me one made from the World Centric brand that uses the "Ingeo PLA" for the liner, and I compost these cups in my backyard. I only use them when it's inconvenient to not use a regular mug.
