❓💬 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can PLA cups degrade in home compost systems?

No, PLA cups generally require industrial composting conditions—temperatures above 55°C and controlled humidity—to break down properly. In home compost, the process is significantly slower and often incomplete. For best results, dispose of compostable PLA cups in certified commercial compost facilities.


2. What are the advantages of PLA cups over traditional plastic cups?

Polylactic Acid (PLA) cups are derived from renewable resources like corn starch, unlike traditional plastic cups made from petroleum. They are biodegradable, compostable, and BPA-free, reducing environmental pollution and aligning with sustainable business practices. Additionally, Bioleader® PLA cups maintain a crystal-clear appearance for premium drink presentation.


3. Can PLA cups hold hot water or hot beverages?

No. PLA cups are designed exclusively for cold beverages. Exposure to hot water (above 45°C) can cause warping or deformation. If you need sustainable cups for hot drinks, consider CPLA-coated paper cups instead.


4. How long can compostable PLA cups be stored?

Under proper conditions (cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight), Bioleader® compostable PLA cups have a shelf life of approximately 12 months. Exposure to heat and humidity may shorten this lifespan and affect the material integrity.


5. How should PLA cups be stored and transported to avoid damage?

Store in a well-ventilated, temperature-controlled environment, ideally below 30°C. During transportation, avoid exposing PLA cups to direct sunlight or high heat to prevent premature softening. Bioleader® uses heat-resistant packaging for safer international delivery.


6. Are compostable PLA cups more expensive than regular plastic cups?

Yes, PLA drinkware typically costs 10–30% more than traditional plastic due to the biodegradable material and renewable sourcing. However, the long-term brand and environmental value often outweigh the initial cost for businesses targeting eco-conscious consumers.


7. Are PLA cups certified safe for food and beverages?

Absolutely. All Bioleader® compostable plastic cups meet FDA food contact regulations and comply with EN13432 and ASTM D6400 compostability standards, ensuring safety, performance, and environmental integrity.


8. Can I customize PLA cups with my brand logo?

Yes. Bioleader® offers OEM customization for all compostable PLA cups, including logo printing, custom sleeves, and private label packaging. It’s a great way to promote your brand while committing to sustainability.
