Biodegradable simply means that disintegration will occur, without specifying an amount of time or what the end material may be. Technically, any material is biodegradable overtime and depends on the environment. Companies often use the term “biodegradable” to mislead consumers. It is illegal in the state of California to label a product as biodegradable without being substantiated by third-party testing.
Compostable materials must degrade at a certain rate into a nutrient-rich substance to be qualified. We consider “compostable” to be a legitimate way to measure and represent a product’s end-of-life impact on the environment.
Our compostable products are certified as compostable, not just biodegradable.
The available packaging made from compostable materials does not perform well enough to ensure your products make it home clean and safe.
We are committed to continuing our work innovating cost-effective compostable packaging that’s up to our performance standards. We hope to make all our packaging compostable soon.
Contact your local waste management service to see if your city has a curbside composting program. Find more information on how to properly compost our products at the following links.

We love these! I would love to purchase these wholesale when that becomes available!

We bought these to use for a wedding and they were great! A great disposable option that is also better for the environment. We used both the 16 & 12oz options, next time I will use only the 12oz because the size was better for the occasion for cocktails and wine. Can't wait for the next party so I can use them again.
They are thin, but feel sturdy and we can no issues with cracking or leaks - overall great cup, we will use again, and I highly recommend.

I loved that these are compostable and a good option for wine glasses. They are the right size however the design of the lip has a bit of an edge to it and can get in the way of enjoying the wine.
