Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using Your Lids
- Always double-check you're using the correct Fiesta Green cups (12oz, 16oz, or 20oz) for a guaranteed fit.
- Place the lid evenly on the cup rim and press down firmly around the edge until you hear a 'click'.
- Remember, these are for cold drinks only. High temperatures from hot drinks can cause PLA to warp.
- Keep the dispenser stocked and neatly stacked near your service point for quick and easy access.
Keeping Them Perfect
- Store the box in a cool, dry place away from any direct heat sources like ovens or radiators.
- Keep them out of direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can make the material brittle.
- Keep the lids in their protective sleeve or box until they're needed to ensure they stay clean and hygienic.
- Before ordering, check with your local council or waste contractor about commercial composting collections in your area.

Explore more from FiestaWhat Does 'Commercially Compostable' Really Mean?
You see 'compostable' everywhere, but what's the deal with PLA and why does it need 'commercial' composting? These eco-friendly cup lids are made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a clever plastic alternative derived from plant starches like corn. Unlike oil-based plastic, it comes from a renewable source. However, it needs specific conditions to break down properly.
Think of it like trying to cook a jacket potato with a hairdryer. You might warm it up, but you'll never get a fluffy, cooked spud. Your home compost bin is the hairdryer in this scenario; it just doesn't get hot enough to break down the dense structure of PLA. A commercial composting facility is the proper oven—it uses high temperatures (over 55°C), humidity, and specific microbes to turn these lids and other organic waste into nutrient-rich compost in a matter of weeks. So, when you use these, you're diverting waste from landfill, but it's vital they go into the right bin to complete their green journey.
