We went to Grand Teton National Park - it was so beautiful! While we were there we ate in one of the lodges and our drinks were served in "plastic cups" that were made from corn and are compostable! It does appear that they are only for cold beverages.

They are clear and feel like a regular plastic cup. I brought 2 home and I am curious to see how long it takes them to compost. I put them in the compost today and I will update you in a few months.

Have you seen these? What do you think?

I think I've heard of them, but not seen them.  I look forward to the update!
