Review on 🌿 Renewable & Compostable Hot Cup Lid - Fits 20oz Insulated Cup - EP-ECOLID-N20 (Case 600) - Eco-Friendly Solution by Lynn Cook

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It looks like a cup, smells like a cup, and tastes like a cup, but it's not a cup.

This product has a high level of leakage and is therefore unable to fulfill its sole function as a container for hot liquids. Here is our experience. We chose this cup for our small organic farm to serve coffee at the farmer's market. The customer returned to our stand to show us that the cup she received a few minutes ago was leaking through the bottom seal. On the first day at the farmers market, hot liquid is splashed on our customers. No bueno. We did a test to see if it was an accident, poured some coffee into a cup and put it on the table. Within minutes the floor was soaked with water and it started to leak. We doubled with another cup to record how much liquid came out. As you can see from the photos, enough liquid is present in a short period of time to render a cup not only useless, but also a liability. (Because the liquid collected in the second folded cup, the coffee ended up leaking out too. Folded cups don't work either.) We've issued a refund and unfortunately we're not sure if we can stay in the ecocup. PLA liners may just not be enough to hold hot liquids.

Pros
  • Supplied in a carton 600
Cons
  • Requires a socket
