FAQs
What are clear plastic cups made of?
Clear cups from Planet Friendly Packaging are made from plant-based bioplastic (PLA), not fossil fuels. PLA is produced from renewable resources like corn starch and is compostable in commercial facilities. This makes it a more sustainable choice compared to conventional plastic, while still giving the strength and clarity needed for serving cold drinks.
By using these alternatives, our clear plastic cups meet current state regulations and help businesses reduce their reliance on single-use plastics.
Are clear plastic cups safe?
Yes, clear plastic cups made from food-grade PLA are safe for serving cold drinks. These materials are designed to meet strict food safety standards, ensuring they do not leach harmful chemicals into beverages. They are widely used in cafés, bars and events for serving juices, soft drinks, smoothies and other cold refreshments with confidence.
Is acrylic plastic safe to drink from?
Acrylic is not commonly used for disposable drinkware because it is a rigid plastic better suited for reusable products. While acrylic is generally safe when used as intended, single-use clear cups are usually made from PET or PLA instead. These materials are specifically approved for contact with food and beverages, giving greater reassurance when serving customers.
Can you put coffee in a clear plastic cup?
Clear bioplastic cups are designed for cold drinks only, so they are not suitable for serving hot beverages like coffee or tea. Heat can cause the cup to soften and lose its shape, making it unsafe to handle.
If you are looking to serve coffee, we recommend using our hot wall paper cups. These are designed for hot drinks, but keep in mind they don’t have an external moisture barrier, so condensation from cold drinks can soften the paper.
