| Cup Type | Material System | Typical Composition | Capacity (ml) | Wall Thickness (µm) | Heat Resistance (°C) | Suitable For | Biodegradation Environment | Estimated Biodegradation Time | Key Certifications / Standards |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA Cold Cup | Polylactic Acid (PLA) | >95% PLA | 250 | 150 | Up to ~60°C (limited) | Cold beverages, iced drinks, events | Industrial composting (high-temp composters, ~58±2°C) | Typically 60–180 days under industrial composting; not reliably biodegradable in marine or standard home composts | EN 13432; ASTM D6400 (industry standards for industrial compostability) |
| PLA/PBAT Heat-Resistant Cup | PLA + PBAT blend | ~70% PLA / ~30% PBAT | 350 | 180 | ~85–90°C (blend improves heat tolerance) | Hot beverages (coffee), warm liquids | Industrial composting preferred; home composting performance limited | Typically 90–180 days in industrial composting; depends on blend ratio and compost conditions | EN 13432; OK compost INDUSTRIAL (commonly sought for blends) |
| PHA Cup (PHB/PHBV family) | Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) | ~100% PHA (PHB/PHBV variants) | 300 | 160 | ~75–80°C (varies with copolymer) | Cold & hot beverages, higher durability needs | Industrial composting; many PHA formulations show biodegradability in soil & some marine settings (varies by formulation) | Industrial: ~60–180 days; marine/soil: variable (months to years depending on conditions and formulation) | EN 13432; ASTM D7081 (marine biodegradation standards may apply depending on testing) |
| Starch-Modified PLA Cup | PLA + Thermoplastic Starch (TPS) | ~60% PLA / ~40% TPS | 200 | 170 | Up to ~60°C | Cold drinks, lower‑cost single-use applications | Industrial composting recommended; enhanced home composting can achieve degradation over longer times | Industrial: ~45–120 days; Home compost: 6–12 months (highly dependent on conditions) | EN 13432 (common benchmark for compostable blends) |
| Mineral-Filled PLA Cup | PLA with mineral filler (e.g., CaCO3) | ~80% PLA / ~20% CaCO3 | 400 | 200 | Up to ~70°C | Cold & warm drinks, event catering | Industrial composting required; inorganic filler remains as mineral residue after polymer degradation | Polymer fraction: ~90–365 days in industrial composting; mineral filler persists as inert residue | EN 13432 (applicable to polymer fraction; filler presence may affect certification scope) |
