Using a reusable plastic bottle or tumbler for your beverages is great, but most plastics aren’t biodegradable and will remain in the environment for 80 to 450 years!
The plastic was tested in a lab at the University of New Mexico, where it was determined that fully biodegradable plastic products look like typical plastic products and have the same properties until placed into the waste stream. To see the lab results click here.
This biodegradable plastic tumbler was developed with the goal in mind to reduce the amount of fossil fuel used during creation, as well as the emissions formed during biodegradation.
Say NO to disposable! Out of 220 billion cups used per year worldwide, 130 billion cups are consumed in North America. In the US, 16 billion cups are used for coffee each year, which equals about 6.5 million trees! (Source: The world-wide interweb)
