Disposable cup Papstar 16176 200 ml Polylactide (PLA)

The Papstar 16176 disposable cup is made from polylactide (PLA), a biobased and compostable material derived from renewable resources. This transparent cup has a capacity of 200 ml with a top diameter of 7.03 cm and a height of 97 mm. Supplied in packs of 100, the cups are intended for single-use serving of cold and room-temperature beverages at events, catering, workplaces, and private gatherings where a lightweight, clear disposable solution is required.

Advantages

These PLA cups combine the convenience of disposable tableware with the lower environmental footprint of a bioplastic material. The transparent design makes beverage contents visible for presentation and portion control. The cups are lightweight yet retain sufficient stiffness for stable handling and drinking. Being made from polylactide, they offer industrial compostability where local composting facilities accept PLA, and they reduce reliance on fossil-based plastics.

• Serving cold drinks and non-carbonated beverages at events and parties

How to use

Use the cup to serve cold or room-temperature beverages. Ensure the beverage temperature does not exceed recommended limits for polylactide materials to avoid deformation; avoid pouring boiling liquids. Place the cup on a stable surface or in a compatible cup holder to reduce the risk of spills. After use, follow local waste disposal guidance: if industrial composting facilities accepting PLA are available, dispose of the cup through appropriate composting streams; otherwise, use the local residual waste or recycling instructions for bioplastics.

Usage recommendations

Avoid using these PLA cups for hot beverages or long-term liquid storage. Store packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity before use. For composting, check local regulations and facility acceptance of PLA to ensure proper end-of-life processing.
