The new Homewood Suites 10oz. Ecotainer hot cup is made of sustainable materials and uses a corn-based plastic as a moisture barrier rather than a petroleum chemical. This new PLA-based coating also makes the cup 100% compostable. The kraft sleeve is made from 100% recycled material and is also 100% compostable. The new cups are replacing all styrofoam cups currently in use.
