Product Description
These are Vegware's 8oz double wall kraft coffee cups, designed as a fully compostable alternative to conventional single-use cups. Rather than the polyethylene lining found in standard disposable cups, these use a plant-based PLA lining derived from renewable sources. Both the paper and the lining are compostable, meaning the finished cup breaks down through industrial composting rather than going to landfill.
The double wall construction does two things in a service environment: it provides a reasonable degree of insulation so customers can hold the cup comfortably without a sleeve, and it adds enough rigidity to reduce the risk of collapse under normal use. For busy counter or kiosk service, that practical durability makes handling quicker and reduces waste from damaged cups.
From an operational standpoint, switching to a fully compostable cup can simplify your waste stream if you already have access to a food waste or compostable collection. Key practical points worth considering:
- PLA-lined — accepted by many industrial composting facilities, though not suitable for home composting
- Double wall design reduces the need for additional cup sleeves in most situations
- Sold in 500s, suited to medium-to-high-volume hot drinks service
- Printed with compostability messaging, which can support customer-facing sustainability communication
- Compatible with standard 8oz lids from the Vegware range
These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, food-to-go counters, festival catering and event operations where compostable waste disposal is in place. It is worth confirming your local waste contractor accepts PLA-lined cups before committing to a large stock order, as acceptance does vary. For lower-volume operations, smaller pack sizes may be more practical.
If you are unsure whether these fit your current waste disposal setup or service volume, the team are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Most UK industrial composting sites that accept food waste will also accept PLA-lined cups, but acceptance does vary by contractor and region. It is worth confirming directly with your waste collection provider before switching over, particularly if you are ordering in volume.
- In most cases, no. The double wall design provides enough insulation for customers to hold a standard hot drink comfortably without an additional sleeve. For very high-temperature beverages served over a prolonged period, individual preference may vary, but the double wall performs well under typical café service conditions.
- These cups are designed to be compatible with Vegware's own range of 79-series lids, which are also available in compostable formats. If you are sourcing lids separately or have existing lid stock, it is worth checking the rim diameter specification against your current lids before ordering at scale.
