About Our Material

Our mugs are made of corn or plant starch extract called PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid).

It looks like plastic but actually has NO fossil-base plastic.

It is compostable and can break down in certain composting conditions.

It is also BPA-free with NO-toxic chemicals,

microwave & dishwasher (top rack) safe, heat resistant up to 120 degree celcius.
SAFE for our bodies, and ECO to the earth!

How ECO is PLA?

PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid) uses 47% LESS non-renewable energy and generates 59%

LESS Greenhouse Gas emissions than the average plastic manufacturing.

It contains 0% fossil-based plastic, made of 100% natural material.

PLA is probably the best material to replace conventional plastic.

PLA is absolutely safe for kids as well as for adults!  

All PLA mugs are BPA-free with NO-plastic & NO toxic chemicals.

PLA is a corn or plant starch extract, hence it is biodegradable and compostable

(*under certain composting conditions).

Is the print on the outside of the mug

durable & food safe?

Yes, ONLY when used and cleaned properly. Best to hand wash with soft sponge.

Do NOT use bleach / chlorine / abrasive sponge for cleaning.

Do NOT use finger nails or sharp objects to scratch it.

Can I put it in microwave?

Yes, set short interval like 1 minute and check temperature.

Add more time if need be.

Why not organic corn?

We strongly support organic agriculture, but using organic corn would add at least 30% more to the price of the product, and we feel that it is not a cost we could afford or pass on to clients and consumers.

It is reusable, but is it durable?

It is pretty durable, consider it is made from natural materials, around 2-3 years. 

After 2 years, the material will start weakening and become brittle. Say if you accidentally drop it on the floor, there is higher chance the mug will crack compares to when you first bought it.

It also means we do not cheat you on the material :)  

Some customers claimed the mugs last more than 2 years.
