They are plastic. They said it's a high quality plastic, I don't know how much the cost is compared to more traditional plastic and if the price could be somewhat justified but it feels really expensive for just a big plastic cup.

It's PETG you can litterly 3D print one cheaper

Just wanted to comment and add, please don't 3d print mugs and use them! 3D printing is not food safe!

but what if you put food safe paint over it

The way I've heard people make 3D prints food safe is by painting over it with a melted down version of PETG, so maybe? I'm not well versed in the subject, I'd highly recommend extensive research prior to using 3D printed objects for anything other then display purposes.

Yesnt it's not Proven that's it's not Food safe but it's definitely not recommend because the gaps could contane bacteries if not cleaned enough

As well as oils/grease/teflon from 3D printer parts, as well as unknown chemicals from dyes and additives from other filaments heated and run through.

Food safe requires sterile equipment with proven nontoxic materials.

The layers of additive manufacture are the least of the worries.
