Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Steam Engine, a busy coffee kiosk near Bristol Temple Meads station, wanted to upgrade their takeaway service to reflect their commitment to sustainability. They needed a cup that could handle high-volume rush hours while clearly showing customers they were making an eco-conscious choice.
"We switched to these Fiesta compostable cups six months ago and the customer feedback has been brilliant. They're strong, they look professional, and people genuinely appreciate that we're not using plastic. They hold their heat well for commuters on the go, and we've had no issues with leaks at all."
David Chen – Owner, The Steam Engine
By actively promoting their new eco friendly takeaway coffee cups 340ml on social media, The Steam Engine noted a significant uptick in positive online reviews, contributing to a stronger local reputation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the paperboard.
- When unboxing, keep the cups in their plastic sleeves until you're ready to stack them for service.
- Stack them rim-down next to your coffee machine for quick and hygienic access.
- Ensure you have the correct compatible lids (Fiesta DS053 or DS055) ready to go.
Keeping It Going
- Advise customers to dispose of the cups in food waste or compost bins where available.
- Avoid stacking them too high, as this can make them difficult to separate during a rush.
- These cups are for single use only and should not be reused.
- Check your local council's guidelines for commercial food waste collection to ensure proper disposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable?
A: 'Compostable' means an item will break down into natural elements in a composting environment within a specific timeframe (usually under 12 weeks). 'Biodegradable' simply means it will break down over an undefined period, which could be many years.
Q: Can these cups be recycled?
A: No. Because of their compostable PLA lining, they are designed for commercial composting, not the paper recycling stream. Putting them in recycling can contaminate the load.
Q: Do I need to use a separate cardboard sleeve with these cups?
A: No, the double-wall design provides enough insulation to keep hands comfortable, saving you the cost and hassle of separate sleeves.
Q: What is PLA lining?
A: PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a bioplastic made from renewable plant starches like corn or sugarcane. It's a waterproof, food-safe, and fully compostable alternative to oil-based plastic linings.
Q: Will the cups become soft or leak?
A: Not at all. The combination of sturdy paperboard and the waterproof PLA lining ensures the cups remain strong and leak-free with hot liquids.
Q: What lids should I buy for these cups?
A: These cups are designed to be used with the Fiesta compostable lids, specifically models DS053 (CPLA) or DS055 (paper).
Q: Can I put them in my home compost bin?
A: It's not recommended. They are certified for industrial composting, which uses higher temperatures to break them down quickly and effectively. Home composts rarely reach the necessary heat.
Q: Are they suitable for cold drinks too?
A: Yes, they work perfectly well for cold drinks like iced coffee or juice, though they are primarily designed for the insulation of hot beverages.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhat Does 'BS EN 13432 Certified Compostable' Actually Mean?
You see 'eco-friendly' labels everywhere, but what makes these biodegradable hot drink cups 12oz special is the BS EN 13432 certification. Think of it as a guarantee. While a standard 'biodegradable' item might take years to break down, 'compostable' means it's designed to be turned back into soil in a specific, controlled environment.
The secret is the PLA (Polylactic Acid) lining. It’s a transparent, waterproof barrier made from plant starch, not oil. So, when you put this cup into a food waste bin that goes to an industrial composting facility, the whole thing – paper, ink, and lining – breaks down into nutrient-rich compost within 12 weeks. It’s like the difference between an apple core and a plastic bottle in your garden compost; one disappears and enriches the soil, while the other will be there forever. This certification proves these cups are the apple core.
