What is an eco-friendly coffee cup?
For many years, single-use paper cups have been the go-to option for countless businesses, restaurants, and cafes. However, the proliferation of paper and plastic waste has become an environmental issue that is difficult to ignore.
With consumers becoming more conscious of this waste and its impact on the environment, businesses have begun resorting to more eco-friendly materials when serving their beverages.
Eco-friendly disposable coffee cups are paper cups that feature organic materials that break down naturally and safely after disposal.
Our line of eco-friendly hot cups are produced with a coating and a leak-proof interior lining that is made from PLA plastic. This particular plastic is unique because it is derived from organic, renewable resources like corn starch and sugar cane.
Unlike other cups, an eco-friendly paper cup won’t potentially linger in garbage piles for extended periods. In fact, when disposed of properly in a commercial composting facility, compostable hot cups will break down safely over time and actually return organic compounds to the soil.

Our custom printed compostable hot cups are made using certified renewable resources that meet the highest standards for biodegradability and composting. They can be easily recycled or disposed of as part of an organic waste management program, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Unprinted Compostable Coffee Cups
The building block in our eco hot cups is the PLA-coated paper. Made from renewable resources, this coating is both durable and fully biodegradable within commercial compost piles.

Are Compostable and Biodegradable Cups the Same?
Yes and no. In practice, all compostable coffee cups are biodegradable. However, not all biodegradable cups are compostable.
That may sound a little confusing, but it all comes down to the specifics. Compostable coffee cups must meet certain criteria to be labeled as such. For example, they must break down within a certain time period and must not create toxic byproducts during the process.
Biodegradable cups are not always subject to these standards. While a cup may be labeled “biodegradable,” it may require distinct temperature conditions to break down properly. Furthermore, it might only break down after an extended and undefined period of time.
Most importantly, while some biodegradable coffee cups may break down safely into harmless biomass, some of these coffee cups might create toxins that contaminate compost. Because compost is nutrient-rich and serves a genuine environmental purpose, some biodegradable cups can, ironically, cause unintended harm to the environment.
