top | item 36503282 (no title) yasman | 2 years ago IMO anything that is heated and plastic or plastic-adjacent is suspect.Not to mention the fact a lot of these “eco” things need special equipment to process which isn’t available everywhere discuss order hn newest Gigachad|2 years ago 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. yasman|2 years ago 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. marcosdumay|2 years ago > The eco cups are PLA.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.
