Katster Cups: Sourcing Organic Pine Wood

Katster Cups:  Sourcing Organic Pine Wood

Katster Cups are composed of natural pine wood. We use all American wood fiber fillers like different pinewoods and mix them to make our pellets. Once the materials are blended to achieve a relatively thick consistency, they are molded.

The wood fibers are obtained from American lumber manufacturers' materials, which are then processed to produce a consistent reinforcing product. The use of these fibers promotes the reclamation of wood that would otherwise be sent to landfills and ensures that no new trees are cut down to make the product. Wood composites also reduce energy use since they melt at lower temperatures than typical plastics. 

Similarly, the chosen wood species will also have a bearing on the final product's color. Pine fillers tend to produce products that are lighter in color compared to hardwood fillers. Larger wood particles will also affect the finished look, giving the product a more natural appearance
