What material is more suitable for coffee cup lids?

When choosing the material for coffee cup lids, it mainly depends on whether your usage scenario is takeaway/disposable or home reusable, and whether you primarily serve hot or cold beverages. The main materials currently on the market each have their own pros and cons. You can refer to the comparison table below to make your decision."

Here's the English translation of your comparison table:

Material	Best For	Heat Resistance	Advantages	Disadvantages
PP Plastic (No. 5)	Takeaway hot drinks	~130°C	Best heat resistance, safe and stable, material used by major coffee chains for hot drinks	Single-use, not eco-friendly; releases dioxins when burned
PS Plastic (No. 6)	Takeaway cold drinks	~70-90°C	Low cost, hard texture, high transparency	Not recommended for hot drinks; may deform and release harmful substances when exposed to high temperatures
Food-Grade Silicone	Home / reusable use (top choice)	-40°C to 230°C	Soft and durable, good sealing, easy to clean, safe, eco-friendly, and biodegradable	Quality varies; must look for 100% food-grade; some products may stain with long-term contact with dark-colored oils
Stainless Steel	Outdoor / heavy-duty use	High heat resistance, very durable	Sturdy, drop-resistant, good insulation	Heavy, higher cost, high thermal conductivity (careful not to burn lips with hot drinks)
Paper Lids / Biodegradable Plastics (e.g., PLA)	Eco-conscious choice	Varies by material	Made from plant-based materials, theoretically biodegradable, more eco-friendly	Heat resistance is often poor; requires specific industrial composting conditions to degrade, not suitable for regular home composting
