What are your disposable soup containers made from?
What are your disposable soup containers made from?
Kraft soup containers lined with PLA (Polylactic Acid) are made from a combination of kraft paper and PLA, a bioplastic derived from renewable plant-based materials, typically corn starch or sugarcane. The kraft paper provides the container's structural integrity, while the PLA lining acts as a barrier to prevent leaks and ensure the container is durable enough to hold liquids like soup or stews. PLA is compostable in industrial settings, making these containers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic-lined options.

Yes, kraft soup containers lined with PLA are compostable in industrial composting facilities. The PLA lining provides a moisture barrier while maintaining the container's compostability, as PLA is made from plant-based materials. The lids for these containers are also made from kraft and PLA, ensuring the entire product is eco-friendly and compostable where industrial composting is available. This makes them a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-lined containers and lids.
