Description
Corncomp’s PLA lid for soup cup gives soup bars and delis a compostable, plant-based lid option, made from PLA (polylactic acid) derived from renewable plant starch rather than petroleum. It’s designed to seal our soup cup range securely for hot soups, broths, and noodle dishes.
Why Choose Corncomp’s PLA Lid
PLA gives this lid a clear, rigid finish that seals tightly onto Corncomp’s soup cups, helping prevent spills during handling and delivery. Because it’s made from plant starch rather than fossil-fuel-based plastic, this PLA lid is industrially compostable, giving soup bars and delis a way to move away from standard plastic lids while keeping the secure fit and clarity customers are used to.

Sustainable by Design
