PLA is a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic, being fully compostable under industrial conditions. PLA not only reduces plastic waste but also ensures that the beverages served in the cup are housed in a safe, food-grade material that meets international safety standards. With its high transparency, the cup beautifully showcases beverages while providing strength and resilience.

This process ensures the cup maintains its high transparency and smooth texture. The precision molding ensures that the cup is durable and offers a premium finish. Once formed, the cups undergo post-production finishing to remove any imperfections and ensure that the rolled rim is safe for use, eliminating any sharp edges.

Sustainability

The 117-32oz PLA Cup supports sustainability by using PLA, which is derived from renewable resources like cornstarch and sugarcane. PLA is compostable, and unlike conventional plastics, it decomposes in industrial composting facilities, helping to reduce environmental impact. By choosing our PLA cups, businesses can offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic cups, aligning with the growing consumer demand for sustainable products. Moreover, PLA cups contribute to the circular economy by reducing the need for petroleum-based plastic.
