Biodegradable Products
| Biodegradable plastic will begin to break down at 150º F and 90% humidity (ideal composting conditions). In approximately 50 days within those conditions, the cups will be completely gone. Biodegradable Cups have met stringent, scientifically based specifications and have been certified 100% compostable by the Biodegradable Plastics Institute. NatureWorks™ Poly Lactic Acid(PLA), is a resin derived entirely from natural corn materials. PLA is 100% renewable through annual corn harvests and fully compostable in municipal and industrial facilities. Biodegradable is the sustainable cup alternative, delivering positive economic, social and environmental advantages. These benefits lead to reduced fossil fuel usage, cutting edge disposal options and decreased landfill contamination. |
