78-9oz PLA Cup (270ml)：Transparent & Customizable Beverage Packaging

DaShan & Craftsmanship Storytelling

DaShan has been at the forefront of innovative food packaging solutions, specializing in sustainable, high-quality packaging made from PLA, PET, and CPET materials. As the demand for eco-friendly alternatives grows, we strive to offer packaging that is both functional and environmentally responsible.

The 78-9oz PLA Cup exemplifies our commitment to crafting products that meet high sustainability standards while delivering on performance. By using PLA (Polylactic Acid) — a biodegradable material derived from renewable plant-based resources like corn and sugarcane — we create packaging that helps reduce the environmental footprint of disposable cups. Through a process of thermoforming, where heated PLA is molded into shape, we achieve consistency and durability in every cup produced.

Materials & Sourcing

The 78-9oz PLA Cup is made from PLA, a bioplastic that is 100% biodegradable and compostable in industrial composting facilities. PLA is derived from renewable plant-based resources like corn and sugarcane, making it an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Unlike traditional plastics, PLA cups break down naturally, reducing plastic waste and promoting environmental sustainability.

At DaShan, we prioritize sourcing PLA from certified suppliers who comply with the highest sustainability and safety standards. This ensures that our products meet global environmental regulations and are safe for use with food and beverages. Our PLA material is FDA-approved and has been certified by ASTM D6400 for compostability, ensuring that it meets the rigorous standards for industrial composting.
