Product Information

What materials are your products made from?

Our products mainly use renewable plant fibers such as sugarcane pulp and bamboo pulp. To improve oil and water resistance, some products include a thin PE coating. We prioritize eco-friendly raw materials and processes to reduce environmental impact.

Are your products biodegradable or compostable?

Our products are made from biodegradable plant fibers that naturally break down over time. However, due to the PE coating, they are not fully compostable and we do not claim “100% compostable” unless certified by authorities like BPI or TÜV.

Do your products have food safety or material certifications?

Yes. Our factories have passed multiple international food safety standards, including:
✅ FDA (US Food Contact Standards)
✅ LFGB (EU Food Safety Standards)
✅ SGS third-party testing reports

Wholesale customers can request full certification copies.

Eco-friendly materials: renewable plant fibers (sugarcane, bamboo, etc.) reduce plastic use
Durable structure: PE lining enhances water and oil resistance, suitable for hot or greasy foods

What are your products mainly made of?

What kind of paper do you use?

We use non-wood plant-based paper (e.g., sugarcane pulp, bamboo pulp), which is more eco-friendly and reduces deforestation, and meets food-grade standards.

How do I choose the right lid?

Paper lids: best for cold foods and eco-friendly use
PP lids: heat resistant up to 212°F (100°C), suitable for hot foods
