The eco cups are PLA. They are derived from a completely different source from the petrochemical plastics. While that doesn't on it's own make them completely safe, they likely have massively different properties from other plastics.

Thank you for sharing this - an interesting rabbit hole to go down.

Found this with some quick googling: https://ift.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1541-4337.12...

Seems like the risk comes from additives to PLA? Seems exhausting to try and stay informed.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

That is very surprising given that PLA can't support heat.

Does the cup get out of the machine in a complete different shape? Because if it's PLA, it should.
