Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Café in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, wanted to switch from their standard kraft cups to packaging that better reflected their vibrant, nature-focused brand. They needed an option that was both visually appealing and demonstrably eco-friendly to align with their company values.
"Our customers noticed the new cups straight away! We've had so many positive comments about the lovely colours and the fact they're compostable. It's a small change that has made our regulars feel even better about supporting us. They just feel more 'us' than the plain brown ones ever did."
Robert Davies – Owner
Following the switch, the café saw a notable increase in social media tags and positive Google reviews specifically mentioning their new, attractive eco-packaging.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storage & Handling
- Store cups in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
- Keep them in their original protective sleeves until ready to use.
- Stack them upside down on your counter to keep them clean and ready for service.
- Ensure staff are aware that these are compostable double wall cups 12oz, not standard disposables.
Correct Disposal
- Use clear signage near your bins to inform customers these cups are for the food waste or compost bin.
- Partner with a waste contractor that handles commercial composting to close the loop.
- Never dispose of them in standard paper or plastic recycling, as the PLA lining requires a special process.
- Check with your local council for information on commercial food waste collection services in your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are matching lids available for these cups?
A: Yes, these cups are part of Vegware's 89-Series, and you can purchase compatible 89-Series hot cup lids separately. Lids are available in CPLA (compostable plastic) or moulded fibre.
Q: What does 'double wall' mean?
A: It means the cup has two layers of paperboard, creating an insulating air gap. This keeps the drink hot for longer while ensuring the outside of the cup remains cool enough to hold comfortably without a sleeve.
Q: Can I use these cups for soup?
A: Absolutely. Their sturdy construction and 12oz size make them perfectly suitable for serving hot soups and broths to go.
Q: Are these biodegradable takeaway coffee cups suitable for my home compost bin?
A: No. They are designed for commercial or industrial composting, which uses higher temperatures to break down the PLA lining effectively. They should be disposed of in a commercial food waste stream.
Q: Do I get all five colours in one pack?
A: Yes, the 500 cups come packed in mixed sleeves, so you will receive a variety of all five pastel colours in your case.
Q: What is PLA?
A: PLA stands for Polylactic Acid. It's a plant-based material, often made from corn starch, that is used as a waterproof, compostable alternative to petroleum-based plastic linings.
Q: Are the cups microwave safe?
A: No, it is not recommended to put paper or PLA-lined cups in the microwave.
Q: Why is the '89-Series' important?
A: The series number refers to the diameter of the rim in millimetres. Knowing this ensures you buy the correct-sized lid (an 89-Series lid) for a secure, leak-proof fit.

Explore more from VegwareWhat Does 'PLA Lining' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You've probably seen 'PLA' mentioned on eco-friendly packaging, but what is it? Think of it as a clever, plant-based alternative to the standard plastic lining you find in most paper cups. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is typically derived from corn starch. It performs just like plastic—it's waterproof and food-safe—but its end-of-life story is completely different.
Imagine an apple core versus a plastic bottle in a compost heap. The apple core breaks down naturally, becoming part of the soil again. The plastic bottle will sit there for hundreds of years. A cup with a PLA lining is like the apple core. When sent to an industrial composting facility with the right heat and conditions, it breaks down completely in a matter of weeks, leaving no toxic residues behind. This means you can offer the convenience of a disposable cup without the long-term plastic waste guilt.
