eco-friendly materials,
built to perform.
No single materialworks for every job.
That's why we take a product-by-product approach, considering how something will be used, how it needs to perform, and what disposal options are realistically available. The best material depends not only on how a product is made, but on what happens to it after use.
PLA | PET | Paper | PHA
Plant-based,compostable.
PLA (polylactic acid) is made from renewable resources like corn and sugarcane. Our PLA cups are designed for commercial composting where accepted and available. There, they break down naturally instead of persisting as conventional plastic.
Our standards
Durable,recyclable.
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is lightweight, durable, and recyclable where the right infrastructure exists. It delivers excellent clarity and strength for cold drinks, a practical choice for businesses whose local programs accept it.
Renewable fiber,familiar feel.
Paper is a renewable, fiber-based material we use across select foodservice and packaging. Depending on the product, it may be paired with a coating for moisture resistance. End-of-life options vary by product and local waste infrastructure.

Next-generationbiopolymers.
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) is produced through biological processes using renewable feedstocks, not petroleum. We use PHA for our straws and cutlery. Unlike PLA, PHA can be commercially compostable, backyard compostable, and ocean compostable.
Beyond cups
Materials matter.So does what happens next.
Choosing a better material is only one part of creating a more sustainable product. We think about the entire lifecycle, from sourcing and manufacturing to how something is used and what happens after. There is no perfect material. Our approach is to choose thoughtfully and keep looking for better ways.
