How to use

Use the cup to serve hot or cold beverages up to its 300 ml capacity. Fill to a safe level below the rim to avoid spills. For hot liquids, handle by the cup body and consider using an insulating sleeve if prolonged holding is required; do not microwave if the product label or supplier instructions advise against it. After use, dispose of the cup according to local waste management rules: where available, place used cups in composting streams that accept PLA-coated cardboard or in residual waste if industrial composting is not an option.

Usage recommendations

Store packs in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to maintain structural integrity. For hot beverages above very high temperatures, test a small sample to confirm comfort when holding and liquid retention. Choose industrial composting facilities for end-of-life processing where possible to realize the environmental benefits of PLA-coated cardboard.
