Disposable cup Papstar 81188 300 ml Polylactide PLA

The Papstar 81188 disposable cup is made from polylactide (PLA), a bio-based and compostable material derived from renewable resources. With a capacity of 300 ml, a top diameter of 9.5 cm and a height of 110 mm, these transparent cups are designed for single-use beverage service at events, catering and everyday gatherings. Packs contain 25 cups, offering a practical quantity for small to medium-sized functions while reducing reliance on conventional fossil-based plastics.

Advantages

These clear PLA cups combine the look and feel of conventional plastic with the environmental benefits of a compostable polymer. They are lightweight, stackable and resist deformation with typical cold and room-temperature drinks. The transparent design allows beverage appearance to remain visible, useful for portion control and presentation. Being manufactured from polylactide, the cups support reduced fossil resource use and can be industrially composted where facilities exist.

Suitable for

• Cold beverages at events and parties
• Cafés and takeaway drink service where disposable cups are required
• Catering, buffets and outdoor gatherings
• Portion sampling and product tastings

How to use

Use these PLA cups for serving cold drinks such as water, soft drinks, iced tea, juice and similar non-heated beverages. Stack cups to save space before use and separate gently to avoid cracking. Avoid using for hot liquids or in microwave heating, as polylactide softens at elevated temperatures. After use, follow local disposal instructions for compostable plastics; where industrial composting is unavailable, dispose according to local waste-sorting rules.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, serve beverages at or below room temperature and do not exceed typical cold-drink fill levels. Store unopened packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve shape and clarity. Check local composting options for appropriate end-of-life handling of PLA products.
