These aqueous-lined paper water cups are designed for offices, markets and large-scale events seeking a PLA-free alternative for short-use beverage service that supports broader composting system realities.
A water-based dispersion coating absorbed into the paper fibres reduces the quantities of plastic polymers typically used in takeaway cup linings while still providing barrier performance.
For a fully PLA-free solution, pair this paper cup with our sugarcane paper lids.
Measuring 73mm at brim, these are suitable for most water cup dispensers.
If you are catering an event or experience high volumes of cups disposed of at your place of business, please get in touch to discuss our closed-loop collection solutions.

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.
*AS 4736, AS 5810 and EN 13432 include requirements that total fluorine content does not exceed 100 ppm, alongside declarations of no intentionally added PFAS, as referenced by the Australasian Bioplastics Association, DIN CERTCO and the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).
