Our biodegradable and compostable cold cups are made from
NatureWorks polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn grown in
the USA. Our cups meet the most stringent scientific requirements for
biodegradability and compostability, and are ASTM D6400-99 certified for
"compostable plastics". Even though they are as light and strong as
plastic, they fully biodegrade when composted. Our cups:
- Are biodegradable for drinks below 110F
- Need stored below 110F and away from heat, hot surfaces and direct sunlight
To distinguish our cups from plastic ones in municiple
recycling/composting facilities, the phrases "Bicompostable" and "This
cup is made from corn and is 100% compostable" are printed on the side.
Instead of using petroleum based plastics which create toxicity and
environmental pollution, you can now use our compostable alternatives.
Please note that composting is required for
biodegradation. These 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.The Green Supply Company looks to provide their clients with the best available biodegradable or compostable plates, bowls, hot cups, cutlery, takeout containers, bags, green cleaning products and new/used material handling equipment, including, pallet & warehouse racking, steel shelving, lockers, and many more items.
