What are the benefits of a PHA cup lining?

Discover the benefits of PHA cup linings: fossil-free, home compostable (pending certification), and marine biodegradable.

On top of finally having a solution that doesn’t contain any fossil-based materials, there are so many benefits of a PHA cup lining. 

  • PHA is pending home compostable certification (AS5810 and NFT51-800) due June 2024. That means consumers can dispose of it in their backyard compost bin. 
  • PHA resin is certified marine biodegradable. While we would never condone littering into the sea, if it does go into the sea (worst case scenario) it will break down significantly faster than conventional plastic.
  • PHA is made entirely from renewable resources, like plant sugars, vegetable oils and bacteria and archaea cells. 
  • The paper used in each PHA cup is sourced from FSCTM-certified forests. The Forest Stewardship Council™ (licence code FSC™: C110879) is a non-profit organisation that acts to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. 
  • PHA is food safety certified.
