The Environmental Cost of Traditional Packaging
Traditional cone sleeves, often made from laminated paper or coated with plastic or wax, are not always recyclable or biodegradable. In many cases, these materials end up in landfills or as litter, taking years to decompose. Given the high volume of cone sleeves used during peak summer seasons, especially at popular dessert spots, the environmental impact can be significant.

Plastic-coated paper, in particular, poses a recycling challenge. While it looks like regular paper, the plastic lining contaminates the recycling process and usually results in the sleeve being discarded. In the broader context of single-use packaging waste, these seemingly harmless items contribute to a growing environmental issue.
