FAQ

What are compostable coffee cups made of?

Our compostable cups are made from sugarcane bagasse, a renewable plant-based material. Unlike traditional plastic-lined cups, they contain no PLA or fossil-fuel-based plastics, making them 100% compostable.

Can compostable coffee cups be recycled?

No, compostable coffee cups should not be placed in regular paper or cardboard recycling bins. Instead, they should be disposed of in food waste (brown) bins, where they will break down properly in industrial composting facilities.

How long do compostable cups take to break down?

When disposed of correctly in an industrial composting facility, our cups break down within 12 weeks, turning into nutrient-rich compost.

Can I compost these cups at home?

Our cups are designed for industrial composting and may not break down efficiently in home composting systems. Home composting lacks the high temperatures and microbial activity needed for full decomposition.

Are your compostable cups certified?

Yes, our cups meet the EN13432 standard, ensuring they have been rigorously tested for biodegradability and compostability.

Are compostable cups suitable for hot drinks?

Absolutely! Our double-wall compostable cups are designed to insulate hot drinks, keeping beverages warm while ensuring a comfortable grip.

Do you offer compostable lids?

Yes, we offer matching compostable lids made from plant-based materials, available for purchase alongside our compostable cups, ensuring a fully sustainable packaging solution.

Can I print my own logo on the compostable cups?

Yes! We offer custom printing services, allowing you to personalise your cups with your brand’s logo and design. This is a great way to reinforce your sustainable ethos while promoting your business.

Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?

Yes, we provide competitive bulk pricing. Get in touch with our sales team for a custom quote based on your order size.

What is the shelf life of compostable coffee cups?

Our compostable cups have a shelf life of up to 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Where can I dispose of compostable coffee cups in Ireland?

Compostable cups should be placed in food waste (brown) bins. Unfortunately, they cannot be processed in regular paper recycling or landfill waste bins.

How do compostable cups help the environment?

Unlike plastic cups, compostable cups are made from renewable resources and break down naturally, reducing landfill waste and microplastic pollution. By switching to compostable packaging, your business can lower its carbon footprint and appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
