Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Drip, a popular coffee spot in Leeds, wanted to upgrade their takeaway packaging to better reflect their commitment to sustainability. They switched from standard paper cups to the Fiesta Compostable range to meet growing customer demand for greener options.
"Our customers really appreciate the move. They can see and feel the quality, and it’s started conversations about our local sourcing and other green initiatives. It's been a brilliant, simple change that has made a real impact on how people see us."
Robert Green – Owner, The Corner Drip

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Best Use & Serving Tips
- Store sleeves of cups upside down near your machine for quick, hygienic access.
- Ensure you pair them with the correct Fiesta 6/8oz lids for a guaranteed spill-proof seal.
- Avoid 'double-cupping' for extremely hot drinks; consider offering paper sleeves instead for better insulation and cost-effectiveness.
- The 6oz size is perfect for drinks with more milk, like flat whites, which have a lower serving temperature.
Storage & Disposal Guide
- Keep the cups in their original plastic sleeve and box in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
- Do not dispose of these in standard recycling bins, as the PLA lining contaminates the paper stream.
- Dispose of used cups in your commercial food waste collection bin, if your local service accepts them.
- Check with your local council or waste contractor about the availability of commercial composting facilities in your area.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhat 'Commercially Compostable' Really Means for You
You see 'commercially compostable' on packaging, but what does it actually involve? Think of it like a specialist recycling system for organic waste. These 6oz compostable coffee cups are made with a plant-based lining (PLA), not oil-based plastic. This means when they go to an industrial composting facility, they break down completely alongside food scraps and garden waste in about 12 weeks. The process uses high temperatures and specific conditions to turn everything back into nutrient-rich compost, leaving no harmful residues. It's a closed-loop system, unlike standard cups that are destined for landfill for hundreds of years.
