Quick Summary:
PLA (polylactic acid) is a plant-based, compostable bioplastic made from fermented sugars such as corn, sugarcane or cassava. It offers good clarity, stiffness and food-contact safety, making it popular for cold cups, clamshells, films and 3D-printing filaments. Under industrial composting conditions, PLA can break down into CO₂, water and biomass, helping reduce reliance on fossil-based plastics. However, it has limited heat resistance, needs dedicated composting or recycling infrastructure, and must be matched carefully with each market’s 2025–2026 plastic-ban and EPR regulations.

FSC-certified Wood Paper Materials: Kraft Paper and White Cardboard Paper

Our to go bowls with lids are made from two main types of materials: Kraft paper and white cardboard paper. Kraft paper is brown and more coarse than most papers and has high toughness and some water-resistant properties which make it good for holding medium-to-heavy and medium-hot food items. Conversely, the white cardboard paper provides an aesthetic appeal even as it remains tough , Biodegradable Plastics. Both of these materials can be recycled and are environmentally friendly – a fact that helps in the packaging design that conforms to the current green principles and yet maintains the needed standard , Biodegradable Plastics.

What is the range of sizes that you have?

In terms of volume, there are varieties of cups: 500ml, 750ml, 1000ml, 1090ml, 1200ml, 1300ml, and 1500ml. This means that for every portion of any size, there is a bowl available.

Can we put our company logo on the bowls?

Of course! We provide you with customization possibilities to add logos and designs on the bowls with lids to help strengthen your company’s image , Biodegradable Plastics. Turn to us for further information on the customization options available.

Biodegradation Process

Biodeterioration: Initiated by environmental elements like ultraviolet radiation, moisture, and physical abrasion, breaking down material integrity. Biofragmentation: Microorganisms secrete enzymes, fragmenting complex materials into smaller, simpler molecules. Assimilation: Microbes uptake these fragmented molecules for energy and growth. Mineralization: Final transformation into fundamental natural elements like carbon dioxide and water.

Milling Process

Kernels are soaked in water to soften them. They are then ground into a fine powder, separating the starch from the germ and fiber.
