Cups - Clear Cups
Cups - Clear Cups

Unbelievable but true, clear plastic cups are now made from corn starch! Rather than using a petroleum-based cup that has a one time use, how about providing your beverages in a container that's as biodegradable as the drink itself? These cups are made from PLA, a cornstarch bioplastic. Polylactic acid (PLA) that is made from glucose from agricultural crops such as corn and potatoes. Products made from PLA are fully biodegradable and compostable. These cups are both vegan and non-oil-economy-based. The cups are biodegradable, compostable, and even reuseable. Just plough them under, or throw them in your compost bin! Microbes will eat them up in a matter of months. Your customers will appreciate that the values that inform the production of your food also guide your decisions about the containers the food goes in. These will take heat up to 118 degrees so please keep that in mind. Please note: These cups currently come with the following writing: "100% compostable, Made with Corn, Biodegradable under compost conditions.
