Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Roots & Beans, a popular café in the heart of Bath, was looking for a way to eliminate single-use plastics from their service. They wanted to better reflect their sustainable, locally-sourced ethos and appeal to the city's eco-conscious residents and tourists alike.
"Our customers have genuinely noticed and appreciate that we use these compostable takeaway coffee cups. It’s a relatively small change for us behind the counter, but it makes a big statement about our values and what we stand for as a local business."
Robert Davies – Owner, Roots & Beans
After making the switch, the café saw a notable increase in positive Google reviews specifically mentioning their new eco-friendly packaging.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Keep compatible lids (DS053/DS055) and sleeves (GD329) nearby for quick and efficient service.
- Store the cup stacks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
- Position the cups on your counter where they are easy for staff to grab during busy periods.
- Use a dispenser if you have one to keep the stack neat and hygienic.
Keeping It Going
- Educate your staff on the correct disposal so they can advise customers to use food waste or compost bins.
- Regularly check your stock levels to ensure you don't run out unexpectedly during a morning rush.
- Point out the '100% compostable' message on the cup to start positive conversations about your green policies.
- Ensure your waste collection service can handle commercially compostable materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cups suitable for very hot drinks like black coffee or tea?
A: Yes, they are rated for liquids up to 100°C. For maximum customer comfort with the hottest drinks, we recommend using a separate cup sleeve like the GD329.
Q: What is the difference between 'biodegradable' and 'compostable'?
A: 'Compostable' means an item will break down into organic material in a specific timeframe under controlled (commercial composting) conditions. 'Biodegradable' is a more general term and doesn't have a defined timescale.
Q: Can these be put in a home compost bin?
A: These are designed for commercial composting, which uses higher temperatures to break them down quickly and efficiently. They will break down in a home compost, but it will take significantly longer.
Q: Can these be recycled with normal paper and card?
A: No. Because of the plant-based, moisture-proof lining, they should not go in mixed paper recycling. They belong in commercial food waste or compost bins.
Q: What is the lining made of?
A: The lining is made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a plant-based material derived from renewable resources like corn starch. It is completely compostable along with the paper cup.
Q: What is the capacity in millilitres?
A: The 12oz capacity is equivalent to approximately 340ml, a perfect size for a standard coffee or tea.
Q: Are these single wall compostable coffee cups sturdy?
A: Yes, they are made from strong paperboard with a PLA lining that prevents leaks and gives the cup rigidity, making them reliable for daily commercial use.
Q: Do the cups come with lids or sleeves?
A: No, the cups are sold as a pack of 50. Compatible lids (DS053 / DS055) and sleeves (GD329) are available to purchase separately.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhat Does 'BS EN 13432 Certified' Actually Mean for You?
You'll see lots of products claiming to be 'green' or 'biodegradable', but the BS EN 13432 standard is the real deal. It’s not a vague marketing buzzword; it's a strict, official European standard that guarantees a product is genuinely 'commercially compostable'. To earn it, these cups had to prove they can break down into organic matter (biomass, water, and CO2) in under 12 weeks in an industrial composting facility, leaving no harmful residues behind.
Think of it like a strict 'MOT' for compostable products. It’s an independent, third-party check that proves the cup and its plant-based lining will genuinely return to the earth under the right conditions. This certification is your cast-iron guarantee of authenticity, giving both you and your customers total confidence that you're making a truly sustainable choice.
