The eco-friendly clear Polylactic (PLA) plastic cups are derived from 100% renewable resources and odor-free, maintaining product integrity.

Unlike most PLA products in the market, Karat Earth PLA cups and lids are made in standard cup and lid sizes for convenient switch and storage. Available from 3-24 oz. starting as low as $85 per case, the eco-friendly plastic cups are fully compostable. Also derived from renewable resources, Karat Earth's eco-friendly paper hot cups are heat resistant against temperatures of up to 190 degrees F, certified compostable in the U.S. and Japan, Cedar Grove Certified, and available from 8-24 oz. starting as low as $60.50 per case.
