FAQs
How will using biodegradable cups and lids benefit my business?
The food/beverage service industry is strongly affected by reviews/opinions left by customers on social media platforms. Using biodegradable cups shows your customers that you care about your community thereby leading to a higher probability of positive reviews and posts left by happy customers doing their part for a better community.
Are biodegradable plastics more expensive than traditional plastics?
As of right now, biodegradable plastics are more expensive than traditional plastics, but much effort is aimed at producing biodegradable plastics from agricultural wastes which will cut costs significantly. The price of biodegradable cups and lids for your business will be well worth the investment as your business will see a positive shift on social media and overall better business image.
Will New Wave biodegradable cups and lids start to decompose on shelves?
No, our cups and lids only start to biodegrade once they enter a biotic environment such as a composting facility, home compost, landfill, or the natural environment. The microbes in the biotic environment will mineralize the cups and lids into CO2, biomass, and water.
How are New Wave cups and lids different than the "compostable" PLA corn cups?
The "compostable" PLA corn cups are only biodegradable in industrial composting facilities. This means that a PLA cup will last for many years in the ocean, soil, or landfill producing harmful byproducts. Our material has been proven to be biodegradable in more natural environments such as home composts.
