Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Corner Perk," a popular coffee spot in Leeds, wanted to move away from their standard plastic-lined cups. They needed a sustainable alternative that didn't compromise on the quality feel their regulars had come to expect.
"Our customers are so much more clued-up on packaging waste these days. Switching to these cups was a no-brainer. They look professional, and being able to tell people they are properly compostable has been a real positive for us."
Michael Edwards – Owner
The switch helped reinforce their brand's commitment to local and sustainable values, leading to a noticeable increase in positive social media mentions.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storage & Use
- Keep the box sealed and stored in a cool, dry area to maintain cup integrity.
- Avoid storing in direct sunlight, as this can affect the PLA lining over time.

- Ensure you have the compatible Fiesta 6/8oz lids nearby to streamline service.
Disposal & Best Practice
- Educate your staff and customers to dispose of these cups in food waste or dedicated compostable packaging bins.
- Check with your local council or waste management provider about commercial composting collections in your area.
- These cups are not suitable for paper or mixed recycling bins.
- Use a marker to write customer names or orders directly on the natural kraft surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are these cups made from?
A: They are made from sustainably sourced paperboard with a lining made from PLA, a plant-based material that allows them to be commercially compostable.
Q: Can I recycle these cups with my normal paper recycling?
A: No. Due to the PLA lining, these cups are designed for commercial composting only and should not be placed in standard recycling bins.
Q: What does BS EN 13432 certification mean?
A: It's the European standard for compostability. It certifies that a product will break down into organic matter within 12 weeks in an industrial composting facility.
Q: Are these single wall compostable coffee cups suitable for very hot drinks?
A: They are perfect for coffees with milk, like lattes. For boiling-hot drinks like black tea, a cup sleeve is recommended for customer comfort.
Q: Can I use these in a microwave?
A: No, paper cups with a PLA lining are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Q: Do the Fiesta 6/8oz lids also compostable?
A: Please check the product details for the specific lids you purchase, as Fiesta offers different types. CPLA lids are compostable, while others may not be.
Q: Will these cups affect the taste of my coffee?
A: Not at all. They are made from food-safe materials and are completely taste-neutral, ensuring your coffee tastes exactly as it should.
Q: Can I put these in my home garden compost bin?
A: Unfortunately not. Home compost systems don't reach the high, sustained temperatures needed to break down the PLA lining effectively.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhat Does 'Commercially Compostable' Really Mean?
You'll see 'commercially compostable' and the 'EN 13432' standard mentioned, and it's important to know what that means for you and your customers. In short, it means these cups are designed to break down into nutrient-rich soil, but only in the specific, high-temperature environment of an industrial composting facility. They won't biodegrade in a landfill or a standard garden compost heap.
Think of it like trying to bake a cake. You need the intense, controlled heat of an oven (the industrial facility) for the ingredients (the cup) to transform into a cake (compost). Just leaving the mix on your kitchen counter (a garden heap or landfill) won't work. By using these cups and guiding customers to the right bin, you’re ensuring your packaging completes its eco-friendly journey properly.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Coffee Shops: Ideal for serving specialty coffees like flat whites and cortados with a clear eco-conscious message.
- Food Market Stalls: Perfect for handing out hot samples, testers, or selling small drinks and even portions of dipping sauce.
- Mobile Caterers: A lightweight and stackable solution that reduces your environmental footprint at festivals and events.
- Delis and Bakeries: A fantastic choice for adding a grab-and-go coffee service that complements your fresh food offerings.
