The quality of these changed recently. They look discolored and collapse too easily.

Regarding the lid issue - the World Centric lids fit these cups! We have purchased the 24oz size of these cups and they are great, just as good as the World Centric brand but way cheaper. We bought the sample pack to see if they would work with our World Centric lids and they sure did! So we started buying these cups and pairing them with the World Centric lids. It has saved us a ton of money. I've never tried the EcoChoice lids but apparently everyone says they don't work - just pair these cups with the World Centric lids and you'll be set!

Thank you for your review, Taylor! We are glad that you are enjoying this product. Please note that we cannot guarantee the compatibility mentioned in your review. Confirmed compatible lids will appear in this item's Works With ribbon.

We use these for our boba teas and the flat lid that is the recommended size was leaking constantly so we switched to a dome lid and it's fantastic. Webstaurant store was great and gave us a credit to use to get the new lids. The cups themselves are very nice quality, although they will melt when the boba is too warm ?? Otherwise, as an environmentally friendly option I only use these!! They need a commercial composting location which may or may not be available in your area, but I recommend these either way!

We've been using these cups for years. The last year though the quality seems to have gone down. The lids don't fit well and the cups seem are thinner than they use to be. This combination causes the cups to crack when putting lids on. Our staff has to be extremely carful to not crack them wasting precious man hours.

Really wanted to like these cups and really tried to. Bought them a few times but they are just terrible. They often times were fused together in the sleeves or split down the side cracked before you even used them. The lids that are branded to work with them didn't fit right and our guests and staff complained about them constantly leaking and spilling on them. We were plastic wrapping each cup top in between the lid and the cup lid at one point and tried other brand lids too before we scrapped them entirely and moved on and never looked back. Bad product and will not use again regardless of how attractive the price looks.

Our restaurant is highly motivated to compost every item possible. The EcoChoice 12 oz Compostable Plastic cup is essential to our achieving that goal. Employees use them as their personal cup during a shift, so we also cut down on water consumption.

I always ordered this cup but the recent order was extremely disappointing! Almost every cup is crinkled and cannot fit in the lids!!! Wish manufacturer can send us replacement for these cups!

The most recent case of this product (#500CC12PLA) has a yellow tinge and is actually a different size from the case of cups with the same item # that I received two weeks ago, although both say 12 oz. The manager to whom I presented the most recent case has rejected them - does not wish to serve them - because they look "dirty."

The rim is narrower enough for the lids to fit. I wish you have quart size cups; yet, narrower rims for the lids to fit.

I see a lot of reviews about corresponding lids not fitting, but eco products and world-centric lids fit perfectly (which we already carried). I've seen a couple cups in the case with manufacturing errors such as slits in the side of the cup, but overall it's definitely worth it for the lower PPU. Saves money over the name branded PLA cups!
