The new Ecoffee Cup range is made with 100% PLA – which may have you wondering: ‘What exactly is PLA?’
Here’s what you need to know!
PLA, short for Polylactic acid, is a biopolymer created from renewable, plant-based materials such as sugar beet, corn and potato starches. It is a pure, 100% renewable material.
Why does this all matter?
Let’s start with some alarming statistics:
- 300 billion single-use cups are manufactured each year
- Less than 2% are recycled; 98% end up in landfill
- A single-use cup’s life is less than 10 minutes
- Compostable single-use cups require a separate waste stream
- It takes 8 uses for a reusable cup to have a lower CO2 impact
In short, we’re facing a global pollution crisis and Ecoffee Cup with PLA material is one of many solutions provided to tackle this problem!
