Good to Know

PLA containers are designed for composting in industrial composting facilities, not home compost bins. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as PLA can soften at high temperatures. These containers pair with compatible compostable lids, sold separately, to create a complete sealed package for transport. When full, the sturdy construction holds liquid foods securely without leaking or buckling. The white finish provides a clean, professional presentation that works well for branding with labels or stamps.
