Product Description
These 12oz double wall hot cups from Vegware are a compostable alternative to conventional disposable cups, made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with plant-based PLA rather than petroleum-based plastic. Supplied in a pack of 500, they are a practical choice for cafés, coffee shops, canteens, and any catering operation serving hot drinks on a volume basis.
The double wall construction traps a layer of air between the two layers of paper, which provides enough insulation to keep drinks at temperature for a reasonable period without the need for a separate cardboard sleeve. Customers can hold the cup comfortably without a sleeve, which also reduces the amount of secondary waste generated at the point of service.
From an operational standpoint, switching to compostable cups can support a site's waste management commitments where access to industrial composting facilities exists. It is worth noting that Vegware cups are certified compostable but require industrial composting conditions — they will not break down reliably in home compost bins or general waste streams. Operators should confirm that a suitable collection or composting service is available before committing to this format at scale.
- Reduces reliance on petroleum-lined conventional disposable cups
- Double wall design eliminates the need for a separate cup sleeve
- Plant-based PLA lining suitable for hot drink service
- Pack of 500 suits regular volume purchasing for busy outlets
These cups are well suited to coffee shops, café bars, event catering, and staff canteens where sustainability credentials matter to the operation or its customers. If you are unsure whether compostable packaging fits your current waste disposal setup, our team are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Vegware cups are certified compostable to industrial standards, meaning they require the controlled heat and conditions found in commercial composting facilities. They will not break down reliably in home compost bins or general waste, so operators need an industrial food waste or compostable packaging collection service in place to make the most of the environmental benefit.
- The double wall design provides enough insulation for most customers to hold the cup comfortably without an additional sleeve. This is one of the practical advantages of the format compared to single wall cups, and it reduces the volume of secondary packaging you need to stock and dispose of.
- The PLA lining is suitable for hot beverages generally, including tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, within normal commercial serving temperatures. If you are serving unusually high-temperature drinks or need cups rated for a specific thermal threshold, it is worth checking Vegware's technical guidance or speaking to us before ordering in volume.
