Common Questions

Everything you need to know about switching to our plant-based 400ml glass.

Are Only Earthy glasses safe for food and drinks? +

Yes, absolutely. Our 400ml glasses are made from corn starch and vegetable waste. They are 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and contain zero Polypropylene (PP) plastic. They are perfectly safe for all cold and room temperature beverages.

How do the colour markers help reduce waste? +

At typical parties, guests set their clear cup down, forget which one is theirs, and grab a new one. By having unique colour identifiers on the glass, guests can easily remember their drink, drastically reducing the total number of cups wasted per event.

How long do they take to decompose? +

Our glasses decompose in approximately 180 days in a composting environment (like an organic waste bin or industrial composting facility). Compare that to standard plastic, which takes 500+ years and simply breaks into toxic microplastics.

Can I use them for hot drinks like tea or coffee? +

Our 400ml glass is engineered specifically for cold and room temperature beverages (water, juices, soft drinks, mocktails, beers). They are not recommended for hot liquids above 40°C.
