Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our eco-friendly product line, certifications, and ordering process.

What does "industrially compostable" mean?
+
Industrially compostable products require specific conditions (heat, moisture, and microbial activity) found in commercial composting facilities to break down within 90–180 days. While they won't decompose at the same rate in a home compost bin, they still break down significantly faster than conventional plastics and leave no toxic residue.
Can I get custom printing on eco-friendly cups?
+
Absolutely! We offer full-color custom printing using soy-based, eco-friendly inks on all our kraft paper cups and PLA products. Minimum order quantities start at 5,000 units, and we provide free design assistance to bring your brand to life sustainably.
Are these products more expensive than regular cups?
+
Our eco-friendly products are priced very competitively. While the per-unit cost may be slightly higher than basic plastic cups (typically 10–20%), the growing consumer demand for sustainable packaging means the investment often pays off in brand loyalty and customer satisfaction. We also offer volume discounts that help offset the difference.
What certifications do your eco products hold?
+
Our eco-friendly line carries multiple certifications including BPI (BioPreferred®), FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), TUV Austria OK Compost (both home and industrial), FDA food-contact compliance, and EN 13432 European compostability standard. Certificates of analysis and compliance documents are available upon request.
What is the minimum order for eco-friendly products?
+
Standard eco-friendly products (unbranded) ship with a minimum order of 1,000 units per SKU. For custom-branded eco products, the minimum is 5,000 units. We also offer sample kits (mixed 50-piece sets) for $29.99 so you can test quality before placing a full order. Contact our sales team for flexible arrangements.
Do you offer a sustainability report for our corporate ESG goals?
+
Yes! We provide a free annual sustainability impact report to all bulk accounts. The report details the estimated plastic waste diverted, CO₂ emissions reduced, and trees conserved based on your purchases. This data can be directly used in your corporate ESG reporting and marketing materials. Reach out to your account manager to get started.
