B Correct answer
Explanation

Thermoplastics are materials which become soft on heating and gets hardened when cooled. This process of heating and cooling can be performed several times on thermoplastic without significant change in its characteristics. Due to these properties, thermoplastics can be molded and cast into various shapes and sizes

Which out of the following is used for making disposable cups?

  1. LDPE

  2. PS

  3. PP

  4. PVC
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
A paper cup is a disposable cup made out of paper and often lined or coated with plastic or wax to prevent liquid from leaking out or soaking through the paper. Disposable cups are made up of Polystyrene (PS).

The main advantages of polystyrene cups are-

They use fewer raw materials and their manufacturing process consumes less energy and produces less waste than that of paper cups.
 Polystyrene cups are also lighter than paper ones, which leads to lower transport costs.
Option B is correct.
