PLA laminated, so they're not really home-compostable, icyww
Just in case anyone's wondering, Amazon [amazon.com] sells 100 of the 12-oz cups for $19.30.

Clearly 100 of the 16-oz cups for $11.70 is the slicker deal.

They seem to be going through a phase of aggressive pricing, perhaps to remain competitive with Walmart+

I personally don't purchase from Amazon and it's helped my wallet a ton in addition to not filling up my place with junk. A lot of retailers actually sell for cheaper than Amazon but everybody just thinks amz is cheaper bc it's all they know

They saved your life !! most likely causes cancer, but they refused to pay for the right to add the warning labels .....
Really? I see a ton of those warning in my local markets and pretty much everywhere else in CA. At least they give me an option to decide given the "risks". So far I can't buy cups, lighter fluid, some Delta faucet replacement part, some pet stuff and a ton of other stuff from Amazon; c'mon Amazon put up some disclaimer and give CA residents the option to buy. This is a deals forum not a political forum.

I didn't know what PLA was....
How is it Made?
PLA is a type of polyester made from fermented plant starch from corn, cassava, maize, sugarcane or sugar beet pulp. The sugar in these renewable materials are fermented and turned into lactic acid, when is then made into polylactic acid, or PLA.
There is more detailed information on PLA production methods below.
Is it Environmentally Friendly?
PLA production uses 65% less energy than producing conventional plastics and generates 68% fewer greenhouse gases and contains no toxins. It can be also remain environmentally friendly should the correct end-of-life scenario be followed.
However, the rate of degradation is very slow in ambient temperatures, with a 2017 study showing that there was no degradation seen in over a year of the material being submerged in seawater at 25°C.
However, PLA can be degraded by hydrolysis, thermal degradation or photodegradation:
Hydrolysis: The molecular weight is reduced by cleaving the ester groups of the main chain
Thermal Degradation: This process leads to the appearance of different compounds, such as linear and cyclic oligomers or lighter molecules with different lactide and Mw
Photodegradation: UV radiation causes degradation, particularly where PLA is exposed to sunlight

What am I, Starbucks? Why would I need 100 disposable coffee cups?
Well I have a theory for you Smilie - Save few bucks when you drive-thru Starbucks ordering with your friend/love. If you are a Starbucks "Tall" sizer then keep these few of these in car for drive-thru pickups. Order a "Venti" size and share it 50-50 with your loved one using these cups.

I am on my way to starbucks now with my love. She understands me Wink
