What is the difference between home compostable and commercially (or industrially) compostable?

Home compostable products are designed to break down in a home compost environment, while commercially compostable products require specialized biological treatment at a commercial or industrial composting facility. Only a small percentage of commercially compostable consumer products ever make it all the way to a commercial facility.

What are EcoPerk™ coffee lids made from?

EcoPerk™ lids are made from 100% renewable and biodegradable paper pulp materials to produce packaging for customers who are environmentally conscious.

Are EcoPerk™ cups lined with plastic?

No -- EcoPerk™ paper cups are crafted from sustainably sourced wood pulp and feature an aqueous water-based coating, which effortlessly decomposes at home. Other so-called "compostable" cups have plastic liners which do not break down except in a commercial composting facility. Make the truly eco-friendly choice for a greener future!

How many plastic cups are used globally each year?

Data from the International Coffee Organization states that a staggering 600 billion paper and plastic cups are utilized globally each year. Particularly in the United States, more than 50 billion paper coffee cups with lids are discarded annually!

Are your paper pulp lids strong?

Our cups and lids have the highest standard of material strength in the industry. Our lids can be used on both cold and hot beverages, and our materials enable product performance to far surpass other "eco products" in durability. Never soft or soggy!

Do EcoPerk™ products have a reduced carbon footprint?

Yes! Home compostable products have a much lower carbon footprint than traditional non-compostable alternatives due to reduced energy requirements for processing and transportation.

Do your products get soft and soggy like paper straws?
