Learn More About Compostable Coffee Cups

Plant-Based Materials & Circulation

Compostable cups are made from renewable sources like paperboard with PLA (polylactic acid) or sugarcane-based linings that are certified compostable—meaning they fully break down under proper conditions into nutrient-rich compost rather than lingering as waste.

Reducing the Environmental Footprint

These cups significantly reduce landfill waste compared to traditional plastic or PE-lined paper cups, and they don’t contribute to microplastic pollution.

Circular Economy & Brand Benefits

Using compostable cups aligns with circular economy principles by returning organic matter back to the soil. At the same time, they elevate your brand’s sustainability message—something today’s consumers actively value.

Composting Infrastructure Realities

It’s important to note: compostable cups require industrial composting facilities to break down properly. Unfortunately, in many regions—including substantial parts of the U.S.—such facilities are limited, meaning these cups often end up in landfill regardless of intention.

Regulatory Momentum & Market Trends

New legislation (e.g., bans on non-compostable cups in certain regions) is pushing businesses toward compostable options. However, adoption is still uneven, and consumer acceptance varies—some find the new materials unfamiliar or less pleasing.
