Frequently asked questions about our double wall compostable coffee cups.
Sustainability
What makes these double wall cups sustainable?
What makes these double wall cups sustainable?
Our Double wall cups are sustainable because they are made from paper, a renewable resource, and lined with compostable PLA or aqueous coatings, which break down in composting environments. The double-wall design provides insulation to keep drinks hot while reducing the need for additional sleeves or plastic wraps. The lids, made from PLA (a plant-based plastic) or sugarcane bagasse (a byproduct of sugar production), are also fully compostable, offering a complete eco-friendly solution that minimises waste and reliance on traditional plastic.
Are these coffee cups more enviromentaly friendly to manufacture?
Are these coffee cups more enviromentaly friendly to manufacture?
Yes, compostable coffee cups and lids are generally better for the environment to manufacture compared to traditional plastic cups. They are made from renewable resources like paper or sugarcane, which require less energy to produce than plastic, made from fossil fuels. Additionally, the compostable coatings (PLA or aqueous) are plant-based, reducing the reliance on petroleum-based materials.
Durability
Are these cups as leakproof as plastic lined coffee cups?
Are these cups as leakproof as plastic lined coffee cups?
Yes, compostable double wall cups are just as leakproof as plastic-lined coffee cups. The double-wall design and compostable linings (PLA or aqueous) ensure that they hold liquids securely without leaking, even for hot beverages.
