The future of home compostable cups is here! Thanks to a unique fermentation process similar to making beer, PHA was born. This innovative process uses renewable resources like plant sugars and vegetable oils to create a cup that’s free of fossil fuel-based plastic. These cups are certified home compostable to European standards (NFT51-800) with the Australian home compostable certification (AS5810) underway.
PHA resin* is certified marine biodegradable (ASTM D 6691) – so if it accidentally ends up in the sea, it will break down significantly faster than conventional plastic, ensuring that no microplastics persist in the long term.
*While PHA resin is certified marine degradable, manufactured products that don’t have marine applications, like our cups, can’t be certified marine degradable to avoid littering.
