Food-Safe Certified
PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable, carbon-neutral resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or cassava root.
Unlike conventional plastics made from petroleum, PLA is produced through the fermentation and polymerization of plant sugars. It offers a remarkably similar look and feel to traditional plastic — with the clarity, rigidity, and versatility your brand expects — but with a dramatically reduced environmental footprint.
Made from renewable cornstarch, not petroleum.
Breaks down in industrial composting facilities within 90 days.
FDA-approved, BPA-free, and safe for food contact.
Excellent clarity that showcases your products beautifully.
From hot coffee cups to cold drinkware and lids — every item in our PLA range is designed for performance and sustainability.
Double-wall PLA-lined cups with excellent heat retention and leak-resistant performance.
Crystal-clear cold cups ideal for iced beverages, smoothies, and bubble tea.
Premium cold cups paired with matching PLA dome lids — spill-proof and compostable.
Flat lids, dome lids, and paper sleeves — all PLA-compatible and fully compostable.
PLA isn't just a sustainable swap — it delivers real business advantages that resonate with modern consumers.
PLA production emits up to 65% less CO₂ compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics, helping your business meet sustainability targets.
