Most paper coffee cups are lined with fossil-based polyethylene (PE), but these cups utilise a PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) biopolymer lining produced through microbial fermentation of renewable feedstocks. PHA is comparable to polypropylene in function but bio-derived while achieving performance expected in high volume hospitality settings.
*Cup sizes are measured to brim capacity.
For a PLA-free solution, pair this PHA-lined coffee cup with our sugarcane (bagasse) paper pulp lid.

End of Life
Where appropriate composting infrastructure exists, certified compostable packaging can contribute to circular economy outcomes by supporting greater diversion of food waste from landfill, including food scraps attached to packaging. End-of-life outcomes depend on local infrastructure. We recommend confirming local acceptance before making compostability claims.
*EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 include requirements that total fluorine content does not exceed 100 ppm, alongside declarations of no intentionally added PFAS, as referenced by DIN CERTCO and the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).
