Every coffee served becomes a small kindness to the planet.
What's the pain point of traditional PLA cups? Poor heat resistance—hot drinks make them go soft. We've changed that.
-
Molecular structure optimization and process improvements dramatically enhance PLA temperature resistance
-
Special crystallization treatment keeps the material stable at high temperatures

Q: Can PLA cups be used in the microwave?
A: Not recommended. Although heat resistant up to 100°C, microwave heating may cause uneven temperature distribution. We recommend using only for holding beverages.
Q: Are lids available?
A: Yes. We offer matching PLA clear lids or matte black lids, available for separate ordering.
Q: What does "industrial composting conditions" mean? Can it degrade at home?
A: Industrial composting requires specialized facilities maintaining high temperature and humidity. Home composting conditions cannot achieve this. Please follow local waste sorting guidelines.
Q: Does the matte black finish fade or rub off?
A: No. The color is integral to the material, not surface-coated. No fading or peeling with normal use.
For a coffee shop averaging 200 cups sold daily:
-
Approximately 73,000 cups used per year
-
Each cup stays in customer's hands for 15-30 minutes
-
Total annual brand exposure time: over 18,000 hours
-
The distinctive matte black visual makes your logo more memorable in crowds
That's the long-term brand value one cup can deliver.
There are plenty of eco-friendly cups on the market. Matte black ones too. But finding one that combines -10°C to 100°C temperature resistance, genuinely fully degradable materials, and the kind of tactile quality that makes people want to hold it and snap a photo? That's rarer.
If you've been looking for a cup like this, let's talk.
