♻️ Features & Benefits of PLA Compostable Plastic Cups
Made from Polylactic Acid
1. Plant-Based Material with International Certifications
Manufactured from renewable corn starch PLA, these cups are 100% compostable under industrial conditions, breaking down naturally within 3–6 months. Certified by FDA, EN13432, ASTM D6400, and BPI, they ensure both safety and compliance for global markets. Choosing these cups reduces reliance on petroleum-based plastics while demonstrating corporate responsibility to eco-conscious customers.
2. Full Size Range with Matching Lids
Bioleader® Compostable PLA plastic cups are available in 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, 24oz, and 32oz, covering all major cold beverage formats. Each cup is compatible with both flat lids for iced coffee or juices and dome lids for smoothies, milkshakes, and bubble tea. This flexibility allows businesses to standardize on one eco-friendly product line across diverse menu offerings.
3. Crystal-Clear Transparency with Durable Build
Unlike some compostable alternatives that appear cloudy, PLA clear cups offer excellent transparency comparable to PET plastic. They allow beverages to be displayed attractively while maintaining strong sidewalls and reinforced rims to resist leaks and cracks. Customers enjoy the same visual experience they expect from premium disposable cups while businesses benefit from dependable quality.
4. Factory-Direct Wholesale & Custom Logo Printing
As a direct manufacturer, Bioleader® offers competitive bulk pricing, OEM/ODM services, and custom branding options.

🥤 Practical Applications & Usage Considerations
PLA clear cups are widely used in cafés, smoothie bars, juice shops, quick-service restaurants, catering companies, and outdoor festivals. Their crystal clarity makes them perfect for iced coffee, juices, cocktails, and desserts, while custom logo printing helps strengthen brand identity during takeaway and delivery services.
It is important to remember that PLA cups are designed only for cold beverages under 45°C (113°F), as high temperatures may cause deformation. They should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. For disposal, industrial composting facilities are recommended, where the cups typically decompose within 3–6 months.

❓💬 Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are compostable PLA clear cups made of?
Compostable PLA clear cups are made from polylactic acid (PLA), a bioplastic derived from renewable plant sources such as corn starch or sugarcane. This material offers a transparent, eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics. It maintains clarity while reducing environmental impact, because PLA is compostable under industrial conditions and leaves minimal residue when properly disposed of.
2. Are PLA clear cups safe for cold beverages?
Yes. PLA clear cups are specifically designed for cold drinks like iced coffee, smoothies, juices, and soda. They are durable, leak-resistant, and maintain clarity similar to conventional plastic. Their structure holds up well with ice and liquids over extended periods. Just avoid hot liquids, as high temperature can weaken the material and affect performance.
3. Can compostable PLA cups be used for hot drinks?
No. These cups are not heat resistant enough for hot beverages. Exposure to temperatures above approximately 45°C (113°F) may cause deformation, warping, or leaking. It’s best to use them only for cold or room-temperature drinks. For hot drinks, other materials like paper cups with heat-resistant lining or specially designed hot-grade bio-plastics are more appropriate.
4. How long does it take for PLA clear cups to decompose?
Under industrial composting facilities—with proper heat, moisture, and microbial action—PLA clear cups typically decompose within 90 to 180 days. Decomposition time depends on facility conditions. In contrast, traditional non-biodegradable plastic cups can take hundreds of years to break down, causing environmental harm. Proper disposal in composting systems speeds up breakdown greatly.
5. What is the minimum order quantity and wholesale availability for these PLA clear cups?
These clear compostable PLA cups are available through wholesale channels, often with customization options like logo printing. Typically, manufacturers require a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for bulk and custom orders. These terms help ensure production efficiency, cost savings, and brand consistency. Buyers should confirm with suppliers about MOQ, pricing, lead time, and customization details for their specific needs.
