The 78-10oz PLA Cup (300ml): High-Quality Drinkware for Cold Beverages

DaShan & Craftsmanship Storytelling

At DaShan, we are dedicated to creating high-quality, sustainable packaging solutions that meet the needs of businesses across the globe. Our 78-10oz PLA Cup is a testament to our commitment to both the environment and the customer. With growing concerns over plastic pollution, we have focused on developing products that combine innovation, durability, and environmental friendliness.

Our 78-10oz PLA Cup is made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biodegradable and compostable material derived from renewable plant-based resources such as corn and sugarcane. PLA is a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, providing an eco-friendly option that decomposes naturally in industrial composting environments.

The 78-10oz PLA Cup is produced using a thermoforming process. This process involves heating PLA material and then forming it into shape using molds. The result is a sturdy, high-quality cup that’s both functional and eco-friendly, designed to withstand everyday use in the foodservice and retail industries.

Materials & Sourcing

The 78-10oz PLA Cup is made from high-quality PLA material, which is derived from renewable plant-based sources, mainly corn or sugarcane. PLA is a compostable material that breaks down naturally in industrial composting facilities, unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics. This makes the cup a sustainable, biodegradable alternative for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.

At DaShan, we ensure that the PLA we use in all our products is sourced from certified, sustainable suppliers. The 78-10oz PLA Cup complies with global standards, including FDA, ASTM D6400, ISO 9001, and EC 1935/2004. These certifications ensure that our cups meet food safety and environmental standards, providing peace of mind for businesses and consumers alike.
