Are these cups made of plastic?
No. While they function like traditional disposable cold cups, they are made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with Ingeo™, a bioplastic derived from plant starches (such as corn) rather than crude oil.
Are these cups biodegradable or compostable?
Yes. They are certified industrially compostable to Australian standard AS4736. They are designed to break down in a commercial composting facility within a matter of weeks, leaving behind no toxic residues.
What size lid do I need for these 6oz cups?
These cups feature an 80mm rim diameter. You will need to source 80mm compatible BioPak lids (such as compatible flat or dome cold cup lids) to ensure a secure, leak-resistant seal.
Can I use these cups for hot coffee or tea?
No, these cups are specifically structured with a plant-based bioplastic lining intended strictly for cold applications. Hot liquids can compromise the structural integrity of the cold-cup lining. For hot beverages, please explore BioPak’s single-wall or double-wall hot cups.
