Abstract
A fiber-based, plastic-free drinking cup is formed by providing a fiber-based slurry comprising a hydrophobic additive and a strength additive, then forming a drinking cup component by compressing and drying the fiber-based slurry in a form press assembly having an internal shape characterized by a conic frustum. The fiber-based slurry may include a dry pulp mixture of virgin fiber and recycled fiber, the hydrophobic additive is 1.0-10.0% of the dry pulp weight, and the strength additive is 1.0-10.0% of the dry pulp weight. In particular, the fiber-based slurry may include about 50% bleached hardwood, about 50% bleached softwood, about 2.5% strength additive, and about 3.5% hydrophobic additive by dry pulp weight.
