Single Wall Hot Cup
Introducing the next generation of sustainable coffee cups — an eco-friendly solution designed for hot beverages and takeout containers. These innovative cups are made from aqueous-coated paperboard, a material crafted from responsibly sourced fibers. The cups feature a moisture-resistant, compostable, and recyclable barrier coating, ensuring durability while remaining environmentally conscious.
Key benefits include being 20% cheaper than PLA, entirely plastic-free, and suitable for kerbside paper recycling. They are also certified for both home and industrial composting, offering a sustainable alternative that resists heat and moisture, making them a practical and planet-friendly choice for businesses and consumers alike.
High-barrier aqueous coated paperboard is an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional paperboard products, offering a sustainable solution for various packaging applications including hot cups and takeaway packaging. Produced from responsibly sourced paper fibers, this paperboard is coated with aqueous material that provides moisture resistance without compromising its ability to break down in composting environments or to be recycled in the paper recycling system. The aqueous coating ensures the paperboard remains functional for numerous applications, such as; food, coffee, cosmetics and other consumer goods.
- Acqueous coatings are water-based and in most cass can be composted and/or recycled
- the paperboard to break down into organic matter in composting facilities, contributing to soil health and reducing the burden on landfill
- Aqueous coatings provide moisture resistance, ensuring that the paperboard remains functional for various applications without compromising its ability to break down in composting conditions
- It has wide consumer appeal with a Plastic Free certification
- While aqueous coatings offer moisture resistance, they may not be as effective as certain non-compostable coatings, such as those made from petroleum-based materials. This limitation might affect the suitability of the paperboard for certain applications
- Typically it is more expensive than traditional non-compostable materials
- Despite it being compostable and/or recyclable infrastructure to process the material is currently limited
Product Certifications
Our materials carry globally recognised certifications to ensure our customers can have full confidence in the sustainability credentials of each product and material we provide.
The FSC certification is a globally recognized standard for responsible forest management. It ensures that forests are maintained with high environmental, social, and economic standards, preventing deforestation and promoting sustainable sourcing. FSC-certified products are traceable through the supply chain, offering assurance that wood, paper, and other forest materials come from ethically managed sources.
The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certification confirms that products meet scientifically proven compostability standards. BPI-certified materials break down completely in commercial composting facilities without leaving toxic residues. This certification is essential for businesses producing compostable packaging, food service products, and other biodegradable goods aiming for sustainability compliance.
TUV Home certification confirms that products can safely compost in home systems, breaking down into organic matter without harmful residues. It promotes sustainable waste practices, encourages home composting, and helps reduce landfill waste, minimizing pollution and conserving resources.
TUV OK Compost Industrial certification verifies products decompose efficiently in industrial composting facilities under controlled conditions. It promotes sustainable waste management, supports compost production, and reduces landfill waste, helping to conserve resources and minimize pollution.
