RecyLoop Files Patent for Coraloop™, Redefining the Future of Plastic-Free Paper Cups

 

RecyLoop is proud to announce the completion of the patent application process for its breakthrough sustainable packaging technology, Coraloop, a next-generation barrier solution designed for paper cups and food packaging that fundamentally transforms recyclability.

Coraloop is a high-performance, PHA-based coating system that adheres to paper fibres to create a robust barrier against water and grease — without relying on fossil additives or traditional plastics. Unlike conventional plastic-coated paper cups, Coraloop-treated packaging retains the inherent recyclability of paper while also being fully compostable and biologically degradable in marine environments. This means that if Coraloop-coated packaging enters nature, it will not persist as plastic waste.

The Coraloop innovation brings together advances in material science, polymer engineering, and natural fibre technologies, enabling the first industrial-scale application of a truly biodegradable coating that addresses the recycling challenges posed by plastic barriers. By replacing polyethylene layers with Coraloop, RecyLoop is enabling a major leap forward in circular packaging design — ensuring that paper cups and food service packaging are genuinely returnable to nature without compromise.

RecyLoop’s Board Member, Ömer Erhan Eroğlu, stated:
“Traditional paper cups have long been considered environmentally friendly only in theory, because interior plastic coatings prevented effective recycling. With Coraloop, we have developed an engineering-centric solution that not only eliminates that contradiction but also ensures paper returns to nature without leaving persistent plastics behind. This patent-driven innovation showcases both RecyLoop’s technological leadership and Turkey’s growing role in global sustainable packaging.”

Coraloop technology has been engineered to work with standard industrial equipment and is poised to accelerate the adoption of fully recyclable, biodegradable packaging across global coffee chains, quick-service restaurants, airlines, and foodservice systems.
