Cold Beverages Only

It is very crucial to observe that PLA compostable cups are made for cold liquids only. They are not resistant to heat and will soften under high temperatures. Thus, these PLA cold cups are very appropriate for cold drinks, including ice, but they should not be used with hot liquids. Also, in the case of transportation, especially of those containers which may be subjected to heat, special insulation packaging has to be used since temperatures as low as 50-70 degrees Celsius may lead to softening of the cup.

 Usage Scenarios

• Cafes and Coffee Shops

Compostable plastic cups serve the purpose of providing iced drinks inside coffee shops. They are well-constructed so that they do not interfere with the actual drink and do not contribute to the plastic problem.

• Festivals and Events

For large events like festivals or events, using PLA plastic cups is an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of disposable cups that do not compromise in functionality.

• Corporate Offices

Raise staff environmental awareness in the office by introducing the use of compostable PLA cups for cold drinks.

• Restaurants and Catering Services

Catering services and even restaurants can take advantage of these compostable PLA cups to minimize plastic waste while providing practical drinkware to customers.

 PLA Cups:  Special Packaging Method

Perfect Packaging Solves the Problem of PLA Cups Not Being Resistant to High Temperatures

PLA cups are not heat-resistant. However, during container transportation, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the internal temperature of the container to reach 50-70°C. Therefore, our products require special packaging: each carton must have an insulated bag inside, and the entire container should be covered with a large thermal insulation bag to prevent the products from softening due to prolonged high temperatures.
