Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Bakery in York needed to upgrade their takeaway cups. They felt their existing single-wall cups didn't match the premium quality of their artisan coffee and pastries, and customers were increasingly asking about their environmental policies.
"We switched to these Vegware cups six months ago and the feedback has been brilliant. Customers immediately noticed the better quality and love the fact they're compostable. They just feel more substantial and look so much more professional than our old ones."
Robert Davies – Owner
The change helped reinforce their brand's commitment to quality, contributing to a 15% increase in takeaway hot drink sales over the following quarter.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storage and Best Use
- Keep the box sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or moisture.
- Stack them near your drinks station for easy, hygienic access during busy periods.
- To prevent leaks and spills, always pair with the correct 89-Series Vegware lids.
- The double-wall design means you won't need separate cup sleeves, saving you space and money.
Disposal and Composting
- These cups are for commercial composting only, not home compost bins or recycling.
- Dispose of them in your food waste bin if it's collected for industrial composting.
- Place clear signage for customers so they know how to dispose of the cups correctly.
- Check with your local council or waste contractor about commercial composting facilities in your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'double wall' mean?
A: It means the cup is made with two layers of cardboard. This creates an insulating air gap that keeps the drink hot while the outside of the cup remains cool enough to hold comfortably.
Q: Are these cups recyclable in my paper recycling bin?
A: No. Due to the waterproof PLA lining, they cannot be recycled with paper. They are designed specifically for commercial composting facilities.
Q: What is PLA?
A: PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a plant-based bioplastic. It's used here as a waterproof liner and is a compostable alternative to the oil-based polyethylene (PE) lining found in standard cups.
Q: Can I use my own home compost bin for these?
A: It's not recommended. These cups require the high, sustained temperatures of an industrial or commercial composting facility to break down efficiently within the specified timeframe.
Q: What size are these cups?
A: These are 12oz (ounce) cups, which is about 340ml. This is a standard 'regular' size in most UK coffee shops.
Q: Do the lids come included in the pack?
A: No, lids are sold separately. You will need to purchase Vegware's 89-Series lids to ensure a secure, leak-proof fit with these cups.
Q: Are the cups suitable for soup as well as coffee?
A: Yes, absolutely. The sturdy construction and reliable PLA lining make them perfect for serving hot soups to go.
Q: Is the black colour printed on the inside of the cup?
A: No, the cup is white on the inside. The sleek black finish is only on the exterior surface.
The Vegware Difference: More Than Just a Cup

Beyond the eco-credentials, Vegware's reputation is built on quality and consistency. You can rely on these cups to perform perfectly every time, preventing messy leaks and ensuring a premium experience that reflects the quality of the product inside. It's a small detail in your daily operation that makes a big statement about the kind of business you run.
Explore more from VegwareWhat's PLA Lining and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered how a paper cup holds a hot liquid without turning to mush? The secret is its lining. These Vegware cups use a PLA lining, which stands for Polylactic Acid. In simple terms, it’s a bioplastic made from renewable plant resources like corn starch, not fossil fuels. Think of it as the cup's invisible, eco-friendly raincoat. It provides the essential waterproof barrier that stops your latte from leaking, but unlike a traditional polyethylene (PE) plastic lining, PLA is designed to break down alongside the paper cup in an industrial composter. This means the whole cup can be returned to the earth, making it a much greener choice for your daily brew.
