Product Spotlights
As a professional manufacturer based in Wuhan, China, Wuhan Century Kingxin Co., Ltd. is proud to offer our Compostable PLA Disposable Beverage Cups – a truly biodegradable and eco-friendly solution for the food service industry. Since our establishment in 2018, we have dedicated ourselves to producing high-quality disposable tableware that meets the growing global demand for sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic. With an annual export value ranging from US$2.5 Million to US$5 Million and a team of 51–100 skilled employees, we ensure every cup is manufactured under strict quality control (ISO9001 certified). Our cups are made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a renewable resource derived from corn starch, which breaks down in commercial composting facilities, leaving no harmful residues. Whether you are a café, restaurant, event organizer, or retailer, these cups offer the perfect combination of functionality, convenience, and environmental responsibility.

- Lids Compatibility: Our cups work with standard PLA or paper lids (sold separately) to ensure spill-free takeaway.
- Microwave & Freezer Safe: Not recommended for microwave; however, they are suitable for refrigeration and short-term freezer storage (not for hot liquids above 40°C).
