Compostable lids are typically made from biodegradable materials derived from renewable resources. The primary raw materials used in the production of compostable lids include:

PLA (Polylactic Acid):

Source: PLA is a bioplastic made from fermented plant sugars, most commonly derived from corn or sugarcane. It can also be produced from other starch-rich crops.
Properties: PLA is transparent, heat-resistant, and can be molded into various shapes. It is a popular choice for compostable lids.
Biodegradable Plastics:

Source: Some compostable lids are made from other types of biodegradable plastics, which can be derived from sources such as vegetable oils or other plant-based materials.
Properties: Biodegradable plastics share the ability to break down into natural components under specific conditions, contributing to their compostability.
Bagasse (Sugarcane Fiber):

Source: Bagasse is a byproduct of sugarcane processing. It consists of the fibrous material left after extracting juice from sugarcane.
Properties: Bagasse is often used to create rigid and durable compostable products, including lids. It is biodegradable and can be composted under certain conditions.
Starch-Based Plastics:

Source: Starch, typically derived from crops such as corn, potatoes, or cassava, can be used as a raw material for producing compostable plastics.
Properties: Starch-based plastics can exhibit similar properties to traditional plastics but are designed to biodegrade under composting conditions.
PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates):

Source: PHA is a type of biopolymer produced by bacteria during fermentation. It can be derived from renewable resources such as plant sugars or vegetable oils.
Properties: PHA is a versatile bioplastic that is compostable and can be used in the production of compostable lids.
PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate):

Source: PBAT is a biodegradable copolymer made from fossil fuels and renewable resources.
Properties: PBAT is often used in blends with other biodegradable materials to enhance flexibility and biodegradability.
PVOH (Polyvinyl Alcohol):

Source: PVOH is a synthetic polymer that can be derived from petrochemical sources or renewable resources.
Properties: PVOH is water-soluble and can be used in the production of compostable films and coatings for lids.
