Why MITYO Coasters? Durable ABS vs. Paper Coasters
Not paper. Not cardstock. MITYO coasters are made of durable ABS plastic, built to handle real drinks day after day.
Most coasters are printed paper or cardstock. They soak up spills, curl at the edges and end up in the trash. MITYO coasters are made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a rigid, impact-resistant plastic that doesn't absorb liquid and wipes clean. Every coaster is designed and handcrafted in Buffalo, NY.
