Product Information
6 questionsOur products are made from 100% plant-based, petroleum-free materials. Our bottles are derived from sugarcane with a calcium-containing resin. Our straws, cups, lids, and utensils are made from PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) — a bioplastic produced through bacterial fermentation of canola oil. Our clamshell boxes are made from PLA (polylactic acid) derived from corn starch and sugarcane. None of our products contain petroleum inputs or microplastic residue.
Yes. All Pure Form Solution products are certified biodegradable and/or compostable by TÜV Austria under the internationally recognized OK Biobased, OK Compost, and OK Biodegradable standards — including marine, soil, and water environments. They break down completely without leaving harmful residue.
Absolutely. Our cups, lids, straws, utensils, and clamshell boxes are designed as drop-in replacements for conventional plastic. They are rigid, leak-resistant, and temperature-tolerant — matching the look, feel, and functional performance of standard plastic products. No equipment changes are required for businesses switching over.
Yes. All of our products are BPA-free, petroleum-free, and food-contact certified. Our straws are also certified 100% gluten-free. Every product meets the highest food safety standards and complies with FDA food-contact regulations.
Our biodegradable cups are available in hot beverage sizes (8–20 oz) and cold beverage sizes (12–32 oz). We offer flat lids, dome lids, and sip-through lids to match. Contact us for full specifications and volume pricing.
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) is produced through bacterial fermentation of canola oil and is used in our straws, stirrers, cups, lids, and utensils. It biodegrades in marine, soil, and home composting environments. PLA (polylactic acid) is derived from corn starch or sugarcane sugars and is used in our clamshell boxes — it is certified for industrial composting. Both are 100% petroleum-free and contain no BPA or phthalates.
