So here I am, waiting to take part in a focus group and Im looking at my cup of water trying to decipher where exactly these cups they use come from.

The company that makes these cups is Fabri-Kal. (A Kalamazoo, Michigan based operation) The reason these cups caught me eye is because they say right on them, that they are 100% compostable and theyre made from corn.

But its not just cups they make! Fabri-Kal has an entire line of products dedicated to keeping it green for consumers. Ranging from cups to portion containers.

Here is a look at what Greenware^® is:

Greenware^® is:

• A line of disposable cups, lids and portion containers made from Ingeo™ biopolymer, a PLA resin derived entirely from plants – not petroleum
• Made from plant sources that are domestically-grown and annually renewable
• 100% compostable in actively managed industrial facilities, where available (click here for their compost facility locator)

For more info on Fabri-Kal’s Greenware^®, you can check them out HERE. They have a pretty comprehensive FAQ section and tons of free literature on the products, and how to get some for your own use.
