Biodegradable materials

A cup is biodegradable

A material is biodegradable when it can decompose into various elements without harmful effects on the natural environment.

A cup is compostable

A material is compostable when, under the action of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and/or algae), moisture, oxygen, and heat, it decomposes, breaks down, and becomes humus. Composting is a natural biological process!

A cup is recyclable

A recyclable material is said to be a waste product that can be directly reintroduced into the production cycle as a partial or total replacement for a new raw material.

PLA biodegradable cup

First, it is necessary to distinguish between several subjects, often symbolized by abbreviations:
PLA = Polylactic acid from maize. Made from biodegradable maize flour.
From the silo to the resin, its production consumes 68% less fossil fuel than that of conventional plastics.
Products made from PLA offer almost the same advantages as plastic tableware.
Recyclable, biodegradable and compostable.
Acceptable temperature range: -20°C to +40°C.
The PLA cup comes in two forms: biodegradable PLA cardboard or flexible and transparent PLA.
