Biodegradable or Eco-friendly plastic pint glasses can now be bought cost effectively online, ensuring that your summer bbq or event is environmentally friendly as well as fun.
Biodegradable plastic pint glasses or bioplastic are made from Polylactic Acid (PLA) which is derived from corn formented plant starch not petrochemicals which are normally used to make most types of plastic used in manufacturing plastic glasses.
PLA based plastic glasses are carbon neutral in the production of the raw materials as they are grown from a fully renewable source.
PLA based plastic pint glasses do offer a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional plastic glasses. These biodegradable plastic beer glasses are 100% compostable, though it is important to understand that PLA needs to be composted in a commercial composter, these biodegradable plastic pint glasses will not rot down as litter or in a domestic compost heap. Also unlike many other plastics they do not emit toxic fumes when burnt.

PLA based plastic pint glasses offer another clear benefit, though not completely smash proof due to the nature of the materials used in their manufacture they do break easily and when they do break they don't splinter which means that they cannot be used as weapons in bar fights.
