* Plastic-Free: Product & Print contains trace amounts of non-intentionally added polymers but still meets the free of requirements from the FTC Green Guidelines. Since these cups are not plastic coated, you remove, for example, 2.6 pounds of plastic from the waste stream per 1000 pint ice cream cups compared to our double poly version regardless of how they’re composted, recycled, or disposed of. A sustainable benefit built into the cup.
** Compostability: BioNatura coated paper passed testing by Din Certco for home & industrial compostability. However, due to the rapidly changing regulatory landscape on a local and national basis and the FTC Green Guidelines, claims related to compostability would require testing of the specific containers and use along with verification of the composting capability and regulatory guidelines of the location in which the container or cup will be disposed.
