What are PLA Cups?
PLA cups are eco-friendly cups made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a bioplastic derived from renewable plant resources like corn, sugarcane, or cassava. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, PLA cups are biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, making them a more sustainable option for single-use products. They are commonly used in food and beverage packaging, providing an environmentally friendly alternative for cups, lids, and straws.
