These compostable cups (only for drinks below 110F) are made from
NatureWorks polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn grown in
the USA. These compostable PLA cups are fully biodegradable and
compostable and meet the most stringent scientific requirements for
biodegradability and compostability, and are ASTM D6400-99 certified
for "compostable plastics". Though, they are indistinguishable from
normal plastic and as light and strong, they fully degrade into water,
carbon dioxide and organic material when composted. There is no reason
not to use these compostable cups made from readily renewable resources
as compared to the petroleum based plastic cups, which create toxicity
and environmental pollution.
- 12 oz Clear Cold Cup
- Height: 3.8"
- Diameter: 3.8"
Please note,
composting is required for biodegradation. These compostable cups will
biodegrade within 180 days in a commercial composting facility, but can
take up to a year or more to biodegrade in a home composting system.
Biodegradable Cups for drinks below 110F
Please store below 110F away from heat, hot surfaces and direct sunlight.
These biodegradable cups have a "Bicompostable logo" and "This cup is
made from corn and is 100% compostable" printed on them in green color
on one side of the cup. We do this to distinguish them from regular
plastic cups and as well as to facilitate sorting them in municipal
recycling/composting facilities for composting.
