Materials & Eco-friendly Options

We stock disposable cups made from various eco-friendly materials, including recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable options, allowing you to choose the eco-friendly option that aligns with your business requirements.

  • Recyclable Cups: These cups are lined with a thin polyethylene (PE) layer to provide a moisture barrier and maintain structural integrity. This lining helps the cup to hold liquids without leaking while allowing recycling where facilities accept PE-lined paper products.
  • Compostable Cups: Featuring a lining made from polylactic acid (PLA), a plant-based biopolymer, compostable cups break down in industrial composting environments. This material offers effective liquid resistance while ensuring the cup decomposes into non-toxic organic matter within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Biodegradable Cups: Made from materials that degrade naturally through microbial activity, biodegradable cups offer an accelerated breakdown compared to conventional plastics. These cups minimise environmental impact by reducing persistence in landfills and natural habitats.

The right choice of material will depend on your specific needs and the waste management options available in your area. If you’re unsure which option suits you best, our team is here to help you find a practical and sustainable solution that works for your business.
