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.

In an industrial composting facility, PLA cups typically decompose within 90 to 180 days. In landfills or natural environments, the process is much slower — plant-based PLA cups.

PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a revolutionary plant-based biopolymer that offers a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics.Unlike traditional plastics from finite fossil fuels, PLA cups are made from renewable agricultural resources—primarily corn starch, sugarcane, or cassava. The production of PLA begins by extracting starches or sugars from plants. Microorganisms then ferment these carbohydrates into lactic acid. Through a process called polymerization, lactic acid molecules are linked together to form long chains, creating a versatile and compostable resin—PLA.This resin can then be molded into various forms, including clear PLA cups, compostable PLA cups, food containers, and even biodegradable straws , plant-based PLA cups.
