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 — water-based coated paper cups.

With customizable packaging options and a range of features such as heat resistance, safety, and cost-effectiveness, they cater to various uses—from outdoor events to everyday dining.

Yes, water-based coated paper cups can hold hot drinks, although they are more suitable for moderate temperature beverages compared to traditional plastic-coated cups. These cups are designed to provide leak resistance and durability for both cold and moderately hot beverages. However, they might not perform as well in extremely high-temperature environments as plastic-coated cups, which are engineered to withstand higher heat levels. Businesses offering hot beverages may need to assess their cups' performance under high-temperature conditions.

Yes, water-based coated paper cups are biodegradable. The water-based coating is made from natural, non-toxic materials that break down in composting environments , water-based coated paper cups. Unlike plastic-coated cups, which may take centuries to decompose, water-based cups can decompose naturally in a short amount of time when disposed of correctly. While water-based paper cups are compostable, they require proper composting facilities to ensure they break down as intended. In areas lacking composting infrastructure, these cups may still end up in landfills, which could delay their decomposition.
