Your average, old school hot cup's life is basically a grab, drink, and toss existence. That sums it up, right? Well, instead of just throwing it away, we decided to make it smarter and greener during it's short life in your hands. By lining our cups with renewable polylactic acid (PLA), we've created cups that break down in a commercial compost facility and return to the Earth, leaving nothing but life-giving compost as a legacy. Makes sense, doesn't it? Made from renewable resources. Lined with PLA, a plant-based plastic. Meet ASTM standards for composability. GreenStripe branding communicates your environmental commitment. Polylactic acid (PLA) or "corn plastic" is made from annually renewable resources. Our PLA products are compostable in commercial compost facilities, but unfortunately not in your home compost.
