Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Coastal Bean, a popular seaside kiosk in Newquay, Cornwall, needed to switch from their plastic-lined cups to meet local environmental targets for the summer season. They chose the Fiesta 8oz compostable cups for their build quality and clear eco-messaging.
"Our customers are much more aware of packaging waste these days. Switching to these compostable cups was a breeze. They hold up brilliantly, even with our piping hot drinks, and we’ve had so many positive comments. It shows we’re listening and doing our bit for our beautiful coastline."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Coastal Bean
The switch led to a noticeable uptick in positive customer engagement, contributing to a 15% increase in drink sales over the peak tourist season compared to the previous year.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storing & Using Your Cups
- Store the boxes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain integrity.
- Avoid crushing the sleeves; stack them carefully to prevent warping the cup shape.
- Ensure you are using the correct compatible lids (DS052 / DS054) for a snug, spill-proof fit.
- Handle with clean hands to maintain hygiene for your customers.
Disposal & Aftercare
- These cups should be disposed of in a dedicated food waste bin for commercial composting.
- Inform customers about the correct disposal method to ensure the cups complete their eco-journey.
- Check with your local council or waste management provider about commercial composting collections in your area.
- Do not place these cups in standard paper recycling bins, as the PLA lining requires special processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these 8oz compostable coffee cups suitable for cold drinks too?
A: Absolutely! While designed for hot drinks, they are perfectly suitable for serving cold beverages like iced coffee or juice.
Q: What is the main benefit of a 'double wall' cup?
A: The double wall creates an insulating air pocket. This keeps the drink hotter for longer while keeping the outside of the cup cool enough to hold comfortably without a sleeve.
Q: What is the maximum temperature these cups can safely hold?
A: These cups are designed to safely hold liquids up to 100°C, making them ideal for all standard hot beverages from a commercial coffee machine.
Q: Can I put these in my home compost bin?
A: No. They are certified for commercial or industrial composting, which uses higher temperatures to break them down effectively. They should be disposed of in your food waste collection bin if your council provides this service.
Q: What does the BS EN 13432 certification mean?
A: It's the legally recognised European standard for compostability. It proves that the product will disintegrate by 90% within 12 weeks in a commercial composting facility.
Q: Will the cup material affect the taste of the coffee?
A: Not at all. The food-grade paperboard and PLA lining are completely neutral and will not impart any unwanted taste or odour to your drinks.
Q: Do these cups feel flimsy?
A: No, the combination of the paperboard and the double-wall design makes them feel very rigid and sturdy in the hand, preventing flexing or collapsing.
Q: Are the matching lids (DS052 / DS054) also compostable?
A: Yes, the recommended lids for these cups are also made from compostable CPLA material, allowing you to offer a completely compostable solution to your customers.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhat Does 'Commercially Compostable' Really Mean?
Seeing 'compostable' on a cup can be confusing. Does it just rot away in the garden? Not exactly! These cups are certified 'commercially compostable' (to the BS EN 13432 standard), which is the gold standard for eco-friendly disposables. Think of it like a recipe that needs a professional kitchen. For these cups to break down efficiently into nutrient-rich compost, they need the specific high temperatures and microorganisms found in an industrial composting facility. This process ensures they break down completely within 12 weeks, leaving no toxic residue behind. So, while they won't disappear in your home compost heap, you're providing customers with a genuinely circular solution when disposed of in the correct food waste stream.
