Matter Introduces Compostable Party Cups, Helping Consumers "Party With a Purpose"tm


Made from plants, the cups break down when properly composted within 12 months and return valuable nutrients back into the soil.

MINNETRISTA, Minn., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Matter, makers of plant-based biopolymer products, announces the release of CompostCups to its growing product line. The new 18 oz. party cups are perfect for social gatherings, parties and events, and are an eco-friendly alternative for people focused on living more sustainably.

In honor of Earth Month, the timing is perfect for introducing CompostCups because we want consumers to have more choices to make it Matter for a healthier planet.

The certified compostable cups join the family of party goods like utensils and plates, blending the best of nature and science to create a wide variety of high-quality products that compost entirely within 12 months and add valuable nutrients back into the soil.

Matter's CompostCups contain zero conventional plastic, no added PFAS additives, are BPA-free, and do not include gluten, tree nuts or peanuts. Available now at participating Walmart and Target stores and online at Amazon and makeitmatter.com.

"In honor of Earth Month, the timing is perfect for introducing CompostCups because we want consumers to have more choices to make it Matter for a healthier planet," said Tim Busby, founder of Matter. "A growing number of people are willing to switch to sustainable single-use products and make positive lifestyle changes that impact the environment in the longer term. We're happy to provide compostable products that we all feel good using! We're continually working to bring new products to market, expanding compostable and plant-based product options for every day, made from nature that will return to nature."

The Matter line currently includes sustainable cups, straws, cutlery, plates, food storage and waste bags. The CompostCups are BPI Certified and are only commercially compostable. Consumers are asked to check with their local community to see if commercial composting facilities exist in their area. BPI is North America's leading authority on compostable products and packaging, providing third-party certification via extensive testing to ensure that all products meet the required ASTM standards to claim they are compostable.

In addition to its work to improve humanity's sustainability, Matter is proud to also support Folds of Honor, donating a portion of its profits to support their scholarship program for the survivors of fallen or disabled military and First Responders.

About Matter:
