Ecoware 30ml sample cups are made from the Ingeo™ brand polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic produced from renewable feedstocks such as corn, cassava, sugar cane or beets. Our clear sample cups are a popular purchase for in-store sampling, event organisers, and vendors attending trade shows and similar events that require closed-loop solutions to achieve event waste minimisation outcomes.
If you are catering an event or offering in-store demonstration services, please get in touch to discuss our closed-loop collection solutions.

End of Life
Industrial Composting
Our clear cups and lids are certified compostable to the ASTM D6400, AS 4736 and EN 13432 standards for industrial composting, which requires the compostable product to:
1) disintegrate after 12 weeks, and
2) completely biodegrade after six months. (This means that 90% or more of the material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass – i.e. valuable compost.)
