Frequently asked questions about our compostable coffee cups and lids.

Sustainability

What are your aquoues coffee cups made from?

Aqueous coffee cups are made from high-quality paperboard and coated with a water-based aqueous lining, which is both non-toxic and compostable. The aqueous coating is fully home compostable, meaning these cups can be disposed of in your home compost bin. This makes them an environmentally friendly choice for businesses and consumers who want to reduce waste. Certified to meet home composting standards like NF T51-800, they offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic lined cups.

How long do your coffee cups take to degrade?

PLA coffee cups degrade in 1 to 3 months in commercial composting facilities with optimal conditions. In contrast, aqueous cups break down more quickly in home compost bins due to their water-based, compostable coating.

Are your coffee cup lids also sustainable?

Bagasse coffee cup lids are sustainable, made from sugarcane pulp, and fully compostable in both industrial and home composting environments. PLA lids, made from plant-based plastic, are compostable in industrial settings.

Durability

Are compostable coffee cups as reliable as traditional plastic cups?

Compostable coffee cups are generally better than traditional plastic cups when it comes to environmental impact, as they are made from renewable resources like sugarcane, paper, PLA and aqueous. These cups break down more easily in composting environments, reducing landfill waste. While they offer the sustainability advantage, they are also leakproof and durable enough to handle hot beverages without losing their integrity, making them a reliable choice for daily use.

Choosing between double or single wall cups.

When aiming for more sustainable practices, it’s crucial to carefully evaluate the environmental impact of your cup choices. Double-wall insulated cups are often favoured for their superior insulation, keeping drinks hot for longer and providing added sturdiness. However, it’s important to consider that the extra layer of material in these cups leads to a larger environmental footprint, both in terms of production and transportation. The additional resources required for manufacturing and the increased weight during shipping can contribute to higher carbon emissions.

Moreover, customers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability when making purchasing decisions. Today’s consumers are more environmentally conscious than ever before and actively seek businesses that align with their values.

What are double wall coffee cups made from?

Our double-wall insulated coffee cups are crafted from premium paper and feature an eco-friendly lining made of Ingeo™, a plant-based bioplastic. These cups are fully compostable and printed with safe, non-toxic inks derived from soy or water. We use high-quality, sturdy board for added strength, insulation, and a perfect fit for the lids, ensuring your cups stay secure and reliable, even with hot beverages.

How to properly dispose of double and single wall cups

Certified as industrially compostable to EN13432 standards, our coffee cups are designed to be composted in industrial composting facilities, contributing to a more sustainable circular economy.

Don’t forget to complete your eco-friendly coffee setup with compostable hot cup lids, takeaway cup trays, and FSC™ certified wooden stirrers. For extra insulation, consider our paper coffee cup sleeves, perfect for keeping beverages hot.
