CUSTOM COMPOSTABLE ICE CREAM CUPS

Compostable ice cream cups only earn their place if they perform in a freezer as well as a conventional cup, and plenty on the market do not. Eco Packaging America supplies PLA-lined, FSC-certified cups that hold their structure through cold storage, printed with water-based food-safe inks across the full 2oz to 16oz range.

Why Choose Compostable Ice Cream Cups?

• ✓Freezer performance first a properly manufactured PLA lining behaves like a poly coating in cold storage, so you are not trading durability for the eco claim.
• ✓Plant-based instead of plastic the lining is derived from plant starch rather than petroleum, which is a real material change and not just a green-looking print job.
• ✓Meets local foodware rules a growing number of US cities restrict conventional single-use plastics, and a compostable spec keeps you trading without a scramble.
• ✓Claims we can actually stand behind we tell you which certifications apply and where the cup genuinely needs commercial composting, so nothing on your packaging overstates the case.
