Biodegradable Plastic Cups with Lids for Cold Drinks
Our biodegradable plastic cups with lids are made from PLA (polylactic acid), a renewable plant-based material that provides a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic cups. Perfect for eco friendly takeaway cups, compostable cold drink cups, and compostable disposable cups, Bioleader® supplies a full range of PLA clear cups with matching flat and dome lids—ideal for cafés, juice bars, restaurants, and large-scale events.
♻️ Features & Benefits of PLA Compostable Plastic Cups
Made from Polylactic Acid
1. Renewable PLA Material & Multiple Certifications
These cups are made from polylactic acid (PLA), derived from plant starches (e.g. corn), which are renewable and reduce dependence on fossil-based plastics. Bioleader’s cups are certified under EN13432, ASTM D6400, FDA, BPI, OK-Compost, ISO9001/14001 and other international standards. That means not only are they compostable in approved industrial facilities, but also meet food safety and regulatory requirements globally. For businesses exporting overseas, these certifications simplify compliance and improve credibility with eco-conscious customers and regulators.
2. Matching Flat & Dome Lids for Versatile Serving
Each cup is paired with matching flat lids or dome lids to suit different beverage types and consumer preferences. Flat lids are ideal for iced coffees, fruit juices or teas, while dome lids accommodate drinks with whipped cream, foam or toppings (e.g. bubble tea, smoothies). The lids are made from the same compostable PLA material to keep the packaging system fully eco-friendly. Adding lids also helps reduce spillage, ensure hygienic transport and preserve drink presentation during takeaway and delivery.
3. Wide Size Range & Global Wholesale Support
Bioleader offers a comprehensive size range from 8oz through 32oz, allowing foodservice operators to standardize on one supplier for all drink sizes—small tea, medium smoothies, large cold brew, etc. Moreover, being factory-direct means competitive FOB pricing and reliable export logistics. Large wholesale quantities are supported and packaging/skus are optimized for efficiency. Businesses benefit from bulk pricing, reduced unit cost, and consistent quality across all sizes.
4. Crystal Clarity Combined with Strength
Unlike many biodegradable cups that appear cloudy, these compostable PLA clear cups maintain excellent visual clarity akin to PET plastics, making the drinks inside aesthetically pleasing — color, layering, details show clearly. At the same time, the cup walls are engineered for sufficient stiffness so that even when filled with cold liquid and with ice or toppings, they resist cracking or collapsing. The durability extends to lids & rims, helping ensure the cup/lid combo remains functional during transport, in bags, or during active use.
5. OEM / Custom Branding, Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Beyond just providing cups and lids, Bioleader offers OEM/ODM custom logo printing, private labeling, custom packaging, and design options. Brands can have their logo printed on bottoms or sides, and packaging tailored to their retail or take-away style. The company supports minimum order volumes, offers free samples for evaluation, and ensures prompt delivery with consistent quality. This not only helps brands promote sustainability but also differentiates them visibly in competitive markets where consumers value environmental responsibility.

🥤 Practical Applications & Usage Considerations
PLA environmentally friendly plastic cups with lids are widely used in cafés, juice bars, restaurants, dessert shops, and outdoor events. They are particularly popular for serving iced coffee, bubble tea, milkshakes, juices, and frozen desserts, providing a premium look while aligning with eco-friendly consumer preferences.
For best results, these cups should be used only for cold beverages under 45°C (113°F). They should be stored in a cool, dry place and kept away from direct sunlight to maintain durability. After use, disposal in industrial composting facilities ensures full biodegradation within 3–6 months. Pairing cups with PLA straws and compostable lids creates a complete sustainable packaging solution.

❓💬 Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are biodegradable plastic cups safe for hot drinks?
No, biodegradable PLA cups with lids are intended only for cold beverages under approximately 45°C (113°F). Exposure to high temperatures can weaken the PLA material, causing warping or leaks. For example, a café in a temperate region tested its iced coffee served in PLA cups during summer heat waves, and when temperatures rose above 40°C in transit, some cups softened noticeably. For hot drinks, using CPLA or lined paper cups is safer.
2. How long does it take PLA biodegradable cups to decompose?
In industrial composting facilities with proper heat, moisture, and microbial activity, PLA biodegradable cups typically break down within 3 to 6 months. By comparison, conventional PET or polystyrene cups may persist for hundreds of years. A case study from a composting facility in Europe showed over 90% decomposition of PLA materials within 120 days. Correct disposal and compost facility access are key to achieving full eco benefits.
3. Can PLA cups be recycled with regular plastic?
No. PLA is chemically different from PET, HDPE, or other common plastics, so mixing PLA into traditional plastic recycling streams can contaminate the batch and reduce the quality of recycled material. Although dedicated PLA recycling systems exist in limited areas, composting remains the primary recommended end-of-life route. Businesses should clearly label the material to guide proper disposal.
4. Do biodegradable plastic cups cost more than PET cups?
Yes, PLA biodegradable cups generally cost more than conventional PET cups due to the renewable feedstocks, compostability certifications, and production processes. However, wholesale pricing, factory-direct supply, and bulk ordering help narrow the cost gap. Many businesses report that customers perceive eco-friendly packaging as higher value; in one survey, a juice bar saw a 10-15% increase in sales of drinks served in compostable cups versus PET alternatives when marketed as sustainable.
5. Are PLA biodegradable plastic cups food-safe and certified?
Yes, these PLA cups with lids comply with multiple international certifications including FDA, EN13432, and ASTM D6400. These standards ensure the material is safe for food contact and meets environmental safety requirements. Independent lab tests have shown no harmful chemical migration into cold drinks. For businesses exporting or complying with stringent food safety laws, these credentials help with regulatory approval and consumer trust.
