Last night JB and I went to Taylors Automatic Refresher and we each had one of their delicious grillled Ahi tuna burgers, which are out of this world. Interestingly our drinks came in 'compostable plastic cups'. Intrigued, I had to find out more.
These cups, made by a company called Fabri-kal, are made out of Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), "a resin derived entirely from natural corn
materials. PLA is 100% renewable through annual corn harvests and fully compostable in
municipal and industrial facilities."
They say that "Greenware will begin to break down at 150º F and 90% humidity (ideal composting
conditions). In approximately 50 days within those conditions, the cups will be
completely gone."
Pretty cool. And they come in 7 cup sizes and 5 lids!
