How about a choice that's pretty cool for you and also the planet? With summer almost here, who doesn't love a cup of iced latte? And, whether you love a strong Americano or the OG iced coffee, eco-friendly cold cups are the way to go. Let's admit it; as much as we love making coffee our own way, no one really likes doing the dishes. And, this is precisely why you need disposable compostable cold cups for your caffeinated addiction. That said, here's why eco-friendly cold cups are cooler than traditional single-use plastic cups. Eco-Friendly Cold Cups: What To Know? Unlike single-use plastic cups, which are made from renewable resources like petroleum, eco-friendly cold cups are made from plants. To be precise, these cups are made from PLA. PLA or polylactic acid is a natural compound found in plants like corn. Simply put, these compostable cold cups are made from cornstarch. Besides being plant-based, these cold cups are also certified compostable. While single-use plastic cups take a long time to break down and leave microplastics behind, these PLA cold cups break down into nutrient-rich compost within a few weeks of disposal. The compost is good for the soil and can be added to it as manure. Environmental Impact of Eco-Friendly Cold Cups As stated above, PLA cold cups are made from plants and are also certified compostable. Unlike plastic cups, that sit around in our ecosystem for centuries, these compostable cups are certified to break down into compost. The problem with single-use plastic cups is that they are supposed to be used just once. And, once they are disposed of, they manage to stick around for hundreds of years waiting to break down. However, once they start to biodegrade, these cups further break down into microplastics. These tiny bits of plastics either get mixed with the soil or water or are ingested by animals. In short, they end up in our food chain and can cause severe health conditions. Our eco-friendly cold cups, on the other hand, are certified compostable. Unlike plastic cups, they break down fast into compost. The compost is a natural manure that can be added to soil to offer important nourishment and help improve water retention levels. Guilt-Free Convenience with Compostable Cold Cups Besides all sustainability claims, these cups are actually pretty sturdy. While they are made from plants, they are not flimsy like regular single-use plastic cups. They are sturdy to hold and definitely do not break apart. These compostable cold cups are also free from nasties. With no toxins or chemicals, these cups do not contaminate your drink in any way. Plus, with a clear white transparent look, these cups are a great choice for house gatherings, outdoor picnics, or anything in between.
