Due to the crystallization process in CPLA, the material’s toughness and heat resistance are increased, allowing this bioplastic to be used for high-temperature applications such as cutlery; otherwise, the regular PLA would soften or deform. Biodegradable and Compostable BPI Certified Eco-Friendly CPLA Utensils : CPLA cutlery is made from plant-based resources like corn starch, BPI-certified 100% industrial-compostable in 90 days, and can break down entirely in industrial composting facilities. Each of our Non-plastic fork, spoon, and knife has “compostable” embossed on it — safe disposable cups.

Some biodegradable plastic forks and spoons can be composted at home, but most require the higher temperatures and controlled conditions found in industrial composting facilities for complete breakdown.

Carcinogen Contamination: Cups, especially those marked as biodegradable or eco-friendly, were found to contain unsafe levels of 3-MCPD. This substance is known to interfere with hormone activity and is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Fluoride Levels: The report also uncovered high levels of fluoride in several disposable cups. If this substance leaches into the environment, it poses long-term environmental and health risks, potentially accumulating in water, soil, and the food chain.

Pay attention to the materials used in the cup. Avoid cups that contain harmful chemicals like 3-MCPD, fluoride, or other non-degradable plastics — safe disposable cups. Opt for products made from natural, renewable sources like cornstarch or sugarcane pulp, which are both eco-friendly and safe for consumers — safe disposable cups.
