Abstract
A disposable cup with an integrated hinged lid is provided. The disposable cup can be unitarily formed entirely of a wood, cellulosic, or other type of fiber pulp-based material that is readily recyclable using a single recycling process for the entire product. The entire product can be recycled using the same recycling process, as compared to conventional disposable cups which can require the separation of the product into its various components, each of which may require a different type of recycling process.
