£108.00(£129.60 inc VAT)
These are Vegware's 16oz single-wall hot cups in the Green Tree design — a straightforward compostable cup intended for operators running a takeaway or drinks-to-go service. Made from white board with a water-based lining rather than a conventional plastic coating, they are designed to hold hot drinks and soup without compromising compostability. They are compatible with Vegware's 89-Series lids, which are sold separately.
In a busy café, canteen, or grab-and-go environment, the 16oz size covers the larger end of a standard drinks range — suitable for large teas, coffees, hot chocolates, and soup portions. Single-wall construction means they are best used with a sleeve or double-cupping where customers are holding drinks for extended periods, as they offer limited hand insulation on their own.
- Home and industrially compostable where the appropriate collection facility is available
- Recyclable through coffee cup recycling schemes — local availability should be verified before committing
- Water-based lining removes the need for conventional plastic film
- 89-Series sizing ensures lid compatibility across Vegware's range
- 1000-unit packs suit medium to high-volume service without frequent reordering
It is worth noting that compostability claims depend on access to the right disposal infrastructure. Industrial composting facilities are required to process the cups within a reasonable timeframe, and home composting will take considerably longer. Operators should confirm their local collection and disposal options before positioning these as part of a sustainability commitment to customers.
These cups suit cafés, canteens, events caterers, and food-to-go outlets looking to move away from conventional plastic-lined cups. For lower-volume operations, smaller pack sizes may be worth considering to manage storage and stock rotation.
If you are unsure which cup size or lid series fits your current drinks range, we are happy to help you work through it.
£56.95(£68.34 inc VAT)
These Vegware Feel Good double wall hot cups are a practical choice for cafés, coffee shops, and any operation running a takeaway drinks service. The two-layer paperboard construction with a PLA lining means the cups are plant-based and suitable for industrial composting where that facility is available. They carry a positive printed message, which adds a small but considered touch to a branded or independent service.
The double wall design removes the need for a separate corrugated sleeve, keeping hands comfortable without extra cost or waste per serve. The 16oz capacity suits standard large hot drink portions — filter coffee, flat whites, hot chocolate, and similar — making them a practical fit for most café and counter service menus.
- Double wall construction eliminates the need for a separate cup sleeve
- PLA-lined paperboard from renewable plant-based materials
- Suitable for industrial composting as part of a managed waste stream
- Compatible with the Vegware 89-series lid range, available in CPLA, paper, and moulded fibre options
- 400 cups per case supports consistent stock levels in moderate-to-busy operations
It is worth noting that compostable credentials are only fully realised when cups are collected and sent to an industrial composting facility. If your waste stream does not support this, the environmental benefit is reduced, though the materials remain plant-based rather than fossil fuel-derived. Pairing these cups with the correct 89-series lid is important — Vegware's lid range for this series is available separately.
These cups are well suited to cafés, contract caterers, and hospitality venues looking to move away from conventional single-use cups. For very high-volume sites processing several hundred covers daily, it is worth reviewing whether case quantities and storage provision align with your throughput.
If you are building out a full compostable takeaway range or want to check lid compatibility before ordering, the team is happy to help you get the right combination.
£45.16(£54.19 inc VAT)
These flat moulded fibre lids are designed to fit Vegware's 89-series paper cold cups and are sold in cases of 1000, making them a practical stock item for cafés, delis, and any operation running a takeaway cold drinks service. Each lid includes a straw hole and is made from reclaimed natural fibre with no added PFAS — a chemical group that has drawn increasing scrutiny in food-contact packaging.
In day-to-day service, the lids seat securely on the 89-series cup rim, which matters when staff are working quickly at a counter or handing drinks to customers on the move. The moulded fibre construction is firm enough to handle without distorting under normal use.
- Made from reclaimed natural fibre — no added PFAS chemicals
- Flat profile with straw hole, suited to cold drinks service
- Fits Vegware 89-series paper cold cups only — series compatibility matters
- Certified for home composting, not just industrial composting
- Sold in cases of 1000, practical for regular restocking
It is worth confirming that your cups are 89-series before ordering — Vegware produces lids across several series, and they are not interchangeable between rim sizes. If you are unsure which series your current cups belong to, the team can help you confirm compatibility before you commit to a case quantity.
These lids are well suited to coffee shops, sandwich bars, workplace catering, and event operators looking to move away from plastic lids without switching to industrial-composting-only alternatives. The home compostable certification gives end customers a genuinely usable disposal route, which is a meaningful distinction for operators with sustainability commitments to communicate to their customers.
If you are building out a full compostable cup programme or need guidance on matching cups, lids, and sleeves across your range, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£50.06(£60.07 inc VAT)
These Vegware Feel Good double wall hot cups are a practical choice for operators running a takeaway or grab-and-go drinks service. Made from two layers of paperboard with a PLA lining, they are designed as a more environmentally considered alternative to conventional single-use cups. The pastel finish and Feel Good messaging give them a clean, presentable appearance that sits comfortably in café, deli, and casual dining environments.
The double wall construction means customers can hold the cup comfortably without a separate sleeve, which simplifies service and reduces the consumable count at the point of sale. The 12oz capacity suits standard coffee drinks — flat whites, lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos — as well as tea and hot chocolate. The cups are compatible with Vegware's 89-series compostable lid range, available in white CPLA, black CPLA, paper, and moulded fibre formats.
A few practical points worth noting:
- PLA-lined cups require industrial composting facilities to break down — kerbside collection is generally not sufficient
- Supplied in a pack of 500, making them well suited to medium-to-high volume takeaway operations
- No sleeve required, which can reduce per-serve cost and counter clutter
- Compatible only with 89-series lids — confirm your current lid stock before ordering
These cups are most suitable for operators with an established compostable waste stream or those working towards one. If your operation runs at lower volume or you are still assessing your sustainability packaging options, it is worth considering whether the pack size and disposal requirements are the right fit before committing.
If you are putting together a full compostable drinks packaging setup or have questions about lid compatibility, the team are happy to help you work through the options.
£71.68(£86.02 inc VAT)
These Vegware 89-Series hot cup lids are made entirely from CPLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources. Unlike conventional plastic lids, they are certified for commercial composting and will break down within 12 weeks when processed through an appropriate composting facility. They are available in black and supplied in a pack of 1,000, making them practical for busy café and hospitality operations where volume matters.
CPLA is a crystallised form of PLA, which gives it greater resistance to heat and physical stress than standard PLA. In a busy service environment, that translates to lids that are less likely to crack or deform during normal handling — an important consideration when staff are working quickly under pressure.
- Commercially compostable within 12 weeks via an approved facility
- Plant-based CPLA construction — no conventional plastic
- Crystallised for improved heat resistance and durability in service
- Designed to fit Vegware's 89-Series hot cups, including 12oz and 16oz sizes
- Supplied in 1,000-unit catering packs for high-volume operations
The main practical consideration is end-of-life disposal. These lids require access to a commercial composting facility to realise their environmental benefit — they will not break down in home compost bins or general landfill at the same rate. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept CPLA before switching over, as contaminating a general waste stream can undermine the sustainability case entirely.
These lids are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, contract caterers, and hospitality venues looking to reduce single-use plastic across their hot beverage service. They are sized specifically for the Vegware 89-Series range, so compatibility should be confirmed before ordering if you are using a different cup brand or series.
If you have questions about fitting these into your current disposables setup or want to check compatibility with your existing cups, we are happy to help you work through it.
£67.74(£81.29 inc VAT)
These black CPLA lids from Vegware are designed to pair with the 79-Series range of hot cups, providing a fully plant-based lid option for operators looking to move away from conventional plastic disposables. CPLA — crystallised polylactic acid — is derived from plant starch and has been heat-treated to improve its rigidity, making it a practical choice for hot beverage service rather than a compromise on durability.
In a busy café or hospitality environment, lid integrity matters. The crystallisation process gives these lids sufficient resistance to cracking or distorting under normal hot-drink service conditions, so they hold up reliably during peak periods without causing spill issues or customer complaints.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are straightforward:
- Commercially compostable within 12 weeks when sent to a compatible facility
- Plant-based material supports waste diversion away from landfill
- Crystallised CPLA resists cracking and splitting during hot drink service
- Compatible across the full Vegware 79-Series hot cup range
- Supplied in a case of 1000, suited to high-turnover service
It is worth noting that commercial composting requires access to an industrial composting facility — these lids are not suitable for home composting bins. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts certified compostable packaging before switching, as without the correct disposal route the environmental benefit is not fully realised.
These lids are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, contract catering operations, and any site already using Vegware 79-Series cups that wants a matched, compostable lid to complete the service. If you are building out a full compostable drinks solution or have questions about compatibility with your current cup range, the team is happy to help.
£64.80(£77.76 inc VAT)
These are Vegware's 12oz double wall hot cups in the Green Tree design, supplied in cases of 500. Made from plant-based materials with a water-based lining rather than a conventional plastic coating, they are designed for serving hot drinks — coffee, tea, and hot chocolate being the most common applications — as well as soups and other hot liquid foods in a takeaway or counter-service setting.
The double wall construction provides meaningful insulation without requiring a separate sleeve, which reduces both waste at the point of service and the handling inconvenience for customers collecting drinks at pace. For busy cafés or foodservice operations running a high volume of takeaway drinks, that small operational detail adds up over a long service period.
- Plant-based materials with a water-based lining — no conventional plastic coating
- Double wall insulation removes the need for a separate cup sleeve
- Compatible with Vegware's 89-Series lids (sold separately)
- Home and industrially compostable; accepted in coffee cup recycling schemes
- Green Tree design — a refreshed, consistently branded cup range
From a waste and compliance perspective, these cups are home and industrially compostable and are accepted in coffee cup recycling schemes, though coverage varies by area and operators should confirm what local facilities are available to them before committing to a compostable disposables programme.
These are well suited to cafés, delis, hospital and workplace catering, and any counter-service operation looking to move away from single-use plastics in their hot drinks offering. For operations running a very high daily cup volume, it is worth reviewing case quantities and storage capacity before ordering. If you are unsure whether these cups fit your current lid stock or service setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£58.90(£70.68 inc VAT)
These are 16oz double-wall hot cups from Vegware, made from paperboard with a PLA lining derived from plant-based materials. The double-wall construction means no separate sleeve is needed — the cup is comfortable to hold straight from the counter, which keeps service moving. They are supplied in black with Vegware's own branding in white, and are designed for use with Vegware's 89-series lid range, which is available in CPLA, paper, and moulded fibre formats.
In a busy café or takeaway environment, the double-wall format holds up well during peak periods. Staff can hand cups across the counter without customers fumbling for sleeves, and the insulation helps maintain drink temperature reasonably well during the short window between service and consumption. At 400 units per case, stock management is straightforward for most mid-volume operations.
From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:
- No sleeve required, reducing consumable cost and counter clutter
- PLA lining qualifies the cups for industrial composting schemes where your local facility accepts them
- Consistent black finish suits most branded or unbranded counter setups
- 89-series lid compatibility gives flexibility across lid material preferences
It is worth noting that compostability depends on access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down meaningfully in general waste or home compost bins. Operators pursuing a genuine waste reduction strategy should confirm their waste contractor accepts PLA-lined cups before committing to volume.
These cups are well suited to coffee shops, cafés, sandwich bars, and any takeaway operation running a hot drinks programme. For very high-volume sites, it is worth considering whether a larger case format might reduce handling frequency. If you would like guidance on lid compatibility or matching cup sizes across a range, the team are happy to help you work through the options.
£99.16(£118.99 inc VAT)
These are single-wall hot cups from Vegware's Green Tree range, finished in crisp white board with a water-based lining in place of the conventional plastic coating. The 12oz capacity sits comfortably in the middle of the standard hot drinks range, making these cups a practical choice for regular coffees, teas, flat whites, hot chocolates, and light soups served to go. They are designed to pair with Vegware's 89-Series lids, which are sold separately.
In a busy café or catering environment, single-wall cups like these are best suited to drinks served quickly and consumed promptly. The water-based lining performs well for standard hot drink service, though for operations where cups may sit in customers' hands for extended periods, a double-wall cup would offer better heat retention and handling comfort.
The environmental credentials are a practical consideration for many operators, not just a marketing point. These cups are certified home and industrially compostable and are accepted in dedicated coffee cup recycling schemes — useful for sites working towards waste reduction targets or operating under sustainability policies. It is worth confirming which collection or composting routes are available at your location before committing to volume.
Being sold in cases of 1,000, this format suits operations with consistent, high-volume drinks-to-go output — café counters, contract catering, event catering, and similar. Smaller operations or those trialling a compostable format may want to consider whether a smaller case quantity is available to test throughput and customer response first.
If you are building out a full compostable drinks service or need help matching cups, lids, and other disposables across your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.
£127.00(£152.40 inc VAT)
These are single-use paper cold cups from Vegware's 89-Series range, sized at 20oz/500ml and supplied in cases of 1000. They are designed for serving cold beverages in food service and hospitality settings — juice, soft drinks, water, beer, and similar cold drinks. The cups are lined with PLA (polylactic acid), a plant-based, renewable material that replaces the conventional petroleum-based plastic lining found in standard paper cups.
In a busy service environment, the practical difference between these and standard disposable cups lies in their end-of-life credentials. The PLA lining makes them commercially compostable where the appropriate composting facilities exist, and they are also accepted through coffee cup recycling schemes. For operators who are working towards waste reduction targets or sustainability commitments, this is a meaningful distinction — provided the composting infrastructure is actually available at your site or through your waste contractor.
- Plant-based PLA lining — commercially compostable where facilities exist
- Accepted through coffee cup recycling schemes
- Compatible with Vegware 89-Series lids (sold separately)
- Citrus colourway with green and yellow print — recognisable on a busy service counter
- 1000 cups per case — suited to high-volume service
It is worth confirming with your waste management provider before committing to compostable disposables at volume. Commercial composting collection is not universally available, and the environmental benefit depends on the cups being processed through the correct waste stream rather than general landfill.
These cups are well suited to cafés, bars, stadiums, event catering, and any high-footfall venue running cold drink service. Lower-volume operations may find a smaller case size more practical. If you are unsure which cup format or lid combination works best for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£54.97(£65.96 inc VAT)
These Vegware 4oz single-wall hot cups are a practical choice for operators serving espresso, short specialty coffees, or small hot samples as part of a to-go or counter service. Made from white board with a water-based lining, they carry the Green Tree design and are built to Vegware's 62-Series sizing, meaning they pair directly with the corresponding 62-Series lids sold separately.
At 4oz the capacity is well suited to single espresso shots and short drinks rather than standard or large coffees, which is worth confirming against your menu before ordering in volume. The water-based lining replaces the conventional plastic coating used in standard disposable cups, which is what allows these to enter composting and coffee cup recycling streams rather than going to general waste.
From an operational standpoint, these cups offer a straightforward sustainability credential without requiring a change to front-of-house workflow. Key practical points include:
- Home and industrially compostable — check local collection options before committing
- Accepted in coffee cup recycling schemes where available
- Compatible with Vegware 62-Series lids for a secure, consistent fit
- Supplied in 1000-unit packs, suitable for moderate to high-volume counter service
- No plastic lining — supports waste reduction and sustainability reporting
These cups are most appropriate for cafés, coffee shops, contract caterers, and hospitality operators looking to move away from conventional plastic-lined disposables at the smaller cup size. If your operation primarily serves larger formats, Vegware's wider range covers higher-capacity options.
If you're unsure whether the 4oz size or 62-Series is the right fit for your existing lids and service setup, the team is happy to help you check compatibility before you order.
£49.09(£58.91 inc VAT)
These are 8oz double-wall hot cups from Vegware, made from two layers of paperboard with a PLA lining. The double-wall construction means no separate sleeve is needed — customers can hold a hot drink comfortably without added materials or waste. The cups are finished in black with Vegware messaging in white, and are supplied in packs of 500, making them practical for busy hospitality and foodservice operations.
In a café, canteen, or grab-and-go setting, the insulation performance of a double-wall cup matters more than it might seem. A single-wall cup requires a corrugated sleeve to avoid burning the customer's hand; these do not. That reduces your consumable count, simplifies your counter setup, and speeds up service slightly during peak periods. The cups suit coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and hot soups served to go.
- Double-wall construction eliminates the need for a separate cup sleeve
- PLA lining makes the cups compostable at an industrial composting facility
- Compatible with the 79-series lid range, including black CPLA, white CPLA, paper, and moulded fibre options
- Supplied in a pack of 500, suited to regular high-volume ordering
It is worth noting that compostability relies on access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down in a standard food waste or recycling bin. If you are running a sustainability programme, it is worth confirming your waste contractor can accept them before committing to volume orders.
These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, staff canteens, event catering, and any operation serving hot drinks or soups to go. If you are setting up a full compostable cup programme and want guidance on matching lids or other Vegware lines, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£101.00(£121.20 inc VAT)
These Vegware 76-Series cold cups are made from PLA (polylactic acid), a plant-based material derived from renewable sources. They are designed for cold-serve applications — chilled drinks, juices, smoothies, iced beverages, and frozen desserts such as ice cream and frozen yoghurt. The high-clarity material keeps the contents clearly visible, which suits self-serve counters and food-to-go displays where presentation matters.
In practical terms, PLA cold cups perform much like conventional plastic cups during service, but they carry a meaningful difference for operators working towards waste reduction targets. Where a certified commercial composting facility is accessible — either through a local authority scheme or a private waste contractor — these cups can be composted alongside food waste rather than going to landfill. It is worth confirming with your waste provider that they accept PLA before committing to a full switch, as composting infrastructure varies across the UK.
The cups are compatible with Vegware's own flat lids within the 76-Series range, and are suited to venues serving cold drinks in a takeaway or grab-and-go format. Typical settings include cafés, juice bars, university refectories, event catering, and staff canteens. The 1000-unit pack size suits moderate to high-volume operations where consistent stock levels are important.
If you are reviewing your disposables range more broadly — including hot cups, lids, or compostable food packaging — it is worth having a conversation about what works across your full service offer. The team is happy to help you work out what fits your operation.
£54.97(£65.96 inc VAT)
These 12oz double wall hot cups from Vegware are a plant-based alternative to conventional plastic-lined disposable cups. Constructed from two layers of paperboard with a PLA (polylactic acid) lining, they are designed to be compostable under industrial composting conditions. The black finish with Vegware's own print gives a clean, consistent appearance suited to professional front-of-house service.
The double wall construction means the cup stays comfortable to hold without a separate cardboard sleeve, which reduces consumable costs and simplifies service at busy counters. They perform well for hot drinks across a typical service window and are equally useful for hot takeaway soups or broths. Supplied in a pack of 500, they suit operations with a meaningful daily cup volume.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- No sleeve required — reduces per-serve cost and counter clutter
- PLA lining supports compostable disposal routes where industrial composting is accessible
- Compatible with the 89-series lid range, including CPLA and paper options
- Consistent black colourway works well for branded or unbranded front-of-house presentation
- Bulk pack quantity suits cafés, canteens, and event catering with regular throughput
One consideration worth noting: compostable credentials are only fully realised when cups are sent to an industrial composting facility. If your waste stream does not currently include that route, the environmental benefit is reduced, though the plant-based materials still represent a lower-impact alternative to conventional options. It is worth reviewing your waste contractor's capabilities before committing to compostable disposables across your operation.
These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, staff canteens, and event catering operations looking for a compostable takeaway cup that pairs neatly with matched lid options. For very high-volume sites, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or a different capacity cup would better fit your throughput.
If you are unsure which cup size or lid combination works best for your service setup, we are happy to talk it through.
£84.44(£101.33 inc VAT)
These are single-use paper cold cups from Vegware's 89-Series range, designed for serving cold beverages in commercial and catering environments. Each cup is lined with PLA — a plant-based, renewable material — rather than conventional petroleum-based plastic, making them suitable for operators looking to reduce their reliance on traditional single-use plastics.
In practice, these cups are commonly used for cold drinks service at cafés, juice bars, event catering, and hospitality venues. The 89-Series sizing means they pair directly with Vegware's matching 89-Series lids, which are sold separately, making it straightforward to maintain a consistent, lidded cold cup setup across your operation.
From a sustainability standpoint, the cups are commercially compostable where appropriate facilities exist, and they are also accepted through coffee cup recycling schemes — a practical option for venues where compostable waste collection is not yet available. It is worth confirming which disposal route is accessible locally before committing to a composting claim with customers.
- Plant-based PLA lining in place of conventional plastic
- Commercially compostable where appropriate facilities exist
- Compatible with Vegware 89-Series lids (sold separately)
- Accepted through coffee cup recycling schemes
- Supplied in a pack of 1000, suited to consistent volume use
If you are unsure which cup size or series best fits your drinks offering, or want to discuss lids and sustainable disposables across your wider operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£101.00(£121.20 inc VAT)
These are single-use paper cold cups from Vegware, sized at 12oz/360ml and supplied in cases of 1000. They are lined with PLA — a plant-based, renewable material — rather than the conventional petroleum-based polyethylene lining used in standard paper cups. That distinction is relevant for operators who need to separate cups from general waste for composting or recycling purposes.
In practical terms, they perform like any good-quality cold cup: stable enough to hold cold beverages without softening quickly, comfortable in the hand, and suitable for front-of-house service whether that is a cold drinks counter, a bar, a café, or a catered event. The citrus-themed print works well in casual dining and outdoor or event catering contexts where branded disposables are expected.
- Commercially compostable where appropriate facilities exist
- Compatible with Vegware's 89-Series lids (sold separately)
- Suitable for cold beverages including juice, water, soft drinks, and cocktails
- PLA lining is plant-based rather than petroleum-derived
- Case of 1000 suits moderate to high-volume service
It is worth noting that commercial compostability depends on access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down in standard food waste collections or home composting bins. Operators should confirm their local waste contractor can accept PLA-lined packaging before committing to a compostable cup programme.
If you are reviewing your disposables range or building a compostable packaging offering and want to talk through which cup sizes and lid combinations suit your service, we are happy to help.
£57.93(£69.52 inc VAT)
These Vegware Green Tree double wall hot cups are an 8oz compostable cup designed for hot drinks service in cafés, canteens, street food operations, and any venue running a takeaway or grab-and-go drinks offer. They are made from plant-based materials with a water-based lining rather than a conventional plastic coating, which is what qualifies them for composting and coffee cup recycling schemes.
The double wall construction means the cup is comfortable to hold without a separate sleeve, which keeps counter service moving and removes a small but real consumable cost. For busy service periods, that simplicity helps staff work quickly without customers needing to wait while a sleeve is fitted.
- Certified home and industrially compostable — supports your waste stream credentials
- Compatible with Vegware's 79-Series lids, sold separately, for a consistent sealed cup format
- Double wall design removes the need for a separate cup sleeve
- Plant-based materials with water-based lining — no conventional plastic coating
- Accepted in coffee cup recycling schemes where local infrastructure supports it
It is worth checking what composting and recycling infrastructure is available in your area before committing to a compostable cup format. Industrial composting facilities are not universally available, and the environmental benefit depends on the cups reaching the right waste stream. For operations with access to a commercial composting collection, these fit well into a broader sustainability policy.
These are suited to any food service operation looking to move away from conventional single-use cups — cafés, contract catering, workplace canteens, events catering, and similar. If your volume requires larger case quantities or a different cup size, it is worth discussing your full drinks service requirements with us before ordering.
£50.06(£60.07 inc VAT)
These are dome lids designed to fit Vegware's 89-series paper cold cups. Made from reclaimed natural fibre with no added PFAS, they are part of the Nourish range and come with a pre-formed straw hole. The 1,000-unit pack is the standard catering quantity for busy takeaway and café operations.
In practice, moulded fibre lids like these are used wherever operators need a compostable alternative to conventional plastic dome lids — coffee shops, café counters, event catering, and contract catering services running cold drink offerings. They sit securely on compatible 89-series cups and hold up adequately under normal cold-drink service conditions. As with all fibre-based lids, they are not intended for hot beverages or prolonged exposure to moisture.
The key operational considerations are straightforward:
- Certified for home composting, supporting waste stream separation where facilities allow
- PFAS-free construction — increasingly relevant for operators reviewing chemical content in disposables
- Compatible exclusively with Vegware 89-series cold cups — check your current cup series before ordering
- White finish suits most branded cup presentations without modification
- Pack of 1,000 suits moderate to high-volume cold drink service
These lids are a practical choice for operators committed to reducing single-use plastic without moving away from a familiar dome-lid format. They are best suited to sites already using Vegware 89-series cups as part of a wider compostable packaging system. Operators running very high cold-drink volumes may want to consider storage space for 1,000-unit packs before ordering in bulk.
If you're reviewing your full disposables range or unsure which Vegware cup and lid combination suits your service, we're happy to talk it through.
£77.56(£93.07 inc VAT)
These are single-wall paper hot cups from Vegware, designed for serving coffee, tea, and other hot drinks in a takeaway or eat-in-to-go format. They carry 8oz of liquid, making them the standard size for a flat white, americano, or small tea, and they are also practical for soup-to-go service. The cups are made from white board with a water-based lining rather than a conventional plastic coating.
In a busy café, coffee shop, or canteen environment, the 1,000-unit case format supports consistent front-of-house stock levels without frequent reordering. The cups are compatible with Vegware's 79-Series lids, which are sold separately — it is worth confirming your lid stock matches this series before ordering if you are switching from a different cup range.
From a compliance and waste-handling perspective, the cups are certified home and industrially compostable and are accepted in dedicated coffee cup recycling schemes where these are available locally. This can support operators who have sustainability commitments or who need to meet waste-reduction targets set by a venue or client.
- Compostable and accepted in coffee cup recycling schemes
- Water-based lining avoids conventional plastic coating
- Compatible with Vegware 79-Series lids (sold separately)
- Suitable for hot drinks and soup-to-go service
- 1,000-unit case supports consistent stock management
If you are setting up a full compostable drinks service and want to make sure cups, lids, and any other disposables work together as a matched range, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£58.90(£70.68 inc VAT)
These Vegware combo lids are designed to work across the 96-Series cold cup range and the 2oz, 3oz, and 4oz Bella PLA portion pots. The lid bridges both formats, allowing operators to serve combination portions — yoghurt with granola, dips with crudités, or sauces alongside a main portion — using a single lid type across multiple container sizes. Being clear, they allow the contents to remain visible to the customer without removing the lid.
In a busy service environment, having one lid that fits multiple containers simplifies stock management and speeds up assembly. There is less risk of mismatched lids slowing down the pass during peak service, and a single SKU is easier to reorder and rotate through storage.
- Compatible with both 96-Series cold cups and 2oz, 3oz, and 4oz PLA portion pots
- Clear material keeps contents visible without removing the lid
- Made from PLA — suitable for food and cold liquids up to 40°C
- Commercially compostable, supporting waste stream commitments
- Supplied in a pack of 1000, suited to regular service volumes
It is worth noting that these lids are rated for use up to 40°C. They are not suitable for hot drinks or warm food service. If your operation involves hot-fill applications, a different lid material would be required.
These lids are well suited to cafés, delis, grab-and-go counters, and catering operations already using Vegware 96-Series cups or Bella portion pots as part of a compostable packaging programme. If you are building out a full compostable packaging setup or are unsure about compatibility with your current cup range, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£46.14(£55.37 inc VAT)
These Vegware Feel Good 8oz double wall hot cups are a practical choice for cafés, coffee shops, and catering operations offering hot drinks to go. Made from two layers of paperboard with a PLA lining, they are designed as a more environmentally considered alternative to conventional single-use cups — suitable for industrial composting where the appropriate facilities are available.
The double wall construction provides useful insulation without the need for a separate sleeve, which simplifies service and reduces additional consumable costs. Drinks stay at a comfortable holding temperature for longer, which matters during busy periods when cups may sit for a short time before collection.
- Double wall paperboard construction — no sleeve required at point of service
- PLA-lined for improved environmental credentials versus conventional cups
- 8oz capacity suits standard espresso-based drinks, tea, and hot chocolate
- Compatible with Vegware's 79-Series lids, including CPLA, paper, and moulded fibre options
- Supplied in a pack of 500, suitable for moderate to high-volume takeaway service
At 8oz, these cups are well suited to standard café drinks sizing — covering flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes, and similar formats without excess capacity. They are not intended for larger formats such as 12oz or 16oz drinks, so operations serving a range of sizes will need to stock additional cup sizes alongside these.
For operations committed to reducing their disposables footprint, it is worth confirming access to industrial composting collection before selecting compostable packaging, as standard food waste or general waste streams do not process PLA effectively. If composting infrastructure is not in place, these cups still represent a renewably sourced option, but the composting benefit will not be fully realised.
If you are reviewing your disposables range or moving towards a more consistent compostable offering across cups, lids, and other packaging, we are happy to help you work through what will suit your service setup.
£21.20(£25.44 inc VAT)
These Vegware cup carry trays are designed to help customers transport multiple drinks safely from counter to table or out of the door. Each tray holds up to four cups and can be split cleanly in half to carry two, which is a practical detail that reduces waste when smaller orders are handed out.
Made in the UK from 100% reclaimed newspaper that is re-pulped and moulded into shape, the trays are commercially compostable where accepted. They are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, quick-service restaurants, and event catering operations where takeaway drink orders are a regular part of service. The pack size of 160 makes them practical for busy sites that go through volume consistently.
- Reduces spills and dropped drinks during customer self-carry
- Splittable design avoids waste when handing out smaller orders
- Commercially compostable, supporting sustainability commitments
- Made in the UK from reclaimed newspaper
- Practical pack quantity for regular-volume sites
It is worth confirming with your local authority or waste contractor that commercial composting facilities are available in your area before committing to a compostable disposables programme. Not all areas have the infrastructure in place, and this affects the end-of-life value of the product.
If you are reviewing your wider disposables range or want to check whether this pack size suits your throughput, we are happy to help.
£119.00(£142.80 inc VAT)
These are Vegware's 96-Series 16oz cold cups, made entirely from PLA — a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable resources. Each cup holds 455ml and is certified for commercial composting, breaking down within 12 weeks in an appropriate composting facility. They are designed as a direct replacement for conventional plastic cold cups in food-to-go, drinks service, and takeaway operations.
In a busy service environment, PLA cold cups perform much like standard plastic cups for cold drinks — they hold their shape and integrity when used with chilled beverages, smoothies, slushies, and cold desserts. The material has good clarity, which means the contents remain visible and presentable. It is worth noting that PLA is not suitable for hot drinks or prolonged exposure to heat, so these cups should not be used for warm beverages or left in direct sunlight for extended periods.
The practical case for switching to compostable cups tends to come down to a few factors:
- Plant-based PLA material certified for commercial composting
- High clarity keeps drinks presentation clean and appealing
- Compatible with the full Vegware 96-Series lid range, including flat and domed options
- 1,000-unit pack suits regular volume without frequent reordering
- Supports waste diversion goals where a commercial composting collection is in place
One practical consideration worth raising: commercial composting requires access to an appropriate collection or processing facility. If your site does not have a compostable waste stream in place, these cups will go to general waste rather than compost — which limits the environmental benefit. It is worth confirming your waste collection arrangements before committing to compostable packaging across your operation.
These cups are well suited to cafés, juice bars, food-to-go counters, and event catering operations that already handle, or are building, a compostable waste stream. For lower-volume sites, smaller pack formats may be available within the same range.
If you are looking to align your full drinks service with compostable packaging or have questions about cup and lid compatibility, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£210.00(£252.00 inc VAT)
These Vegware half pint cups are made from PLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable resources — and are designed for cold drinks service in commercial and catering environments. They carry UKCA, UKNI, and CE marks, confirming they are legally compliant for free-pour service in the UK and across applicable markets. The pack quantity of 2100 is suited to operations running a consistent volume of cold drinks throughout the day.
In a busy drinks service — whether that is a café counter, a hospitality bar, or a grab-and-go outlet — the clarity of the cup matters. PLA offers good transparency, which means cold drinks, smoothies, and iced beverages are presented clearly without the opaque appearance of some alternative materials. That is a practical consideration for any outlet where visual presentation influences the customer experience.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantage of PLA cups over conventional plastic is end-of-life handling. These cups are certified for commercial composting and will break down within 12 weeks under the right composting conditions. For operators working towards waste reduction targets or supporting a composting scheme on-site or through a waste contractor, this provides a credible, compliant route away from landfill.
- UKCA, UKNI, and CE-marked — compliant for free-pour cold drinks service
- Commercially compostable, supporting waste diversion schemes
- Good clarity — suitable for cold drinks where presentation matters
- Bulk pack quantity reduces restocking frequency in high-volume outlets
- Plant-based PLA reduces reliance on fossil-fuel-derived plastics
It is worth noting that commercial composting requires access to an appropriate industrial composting facility. Home composting is not suitable for PLA. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept certified compostable packaging before committing to a switch across their full drinks range.
These cups are well suited to cafés, casual dining outlets, event catering, and any operation with an active sustainability policy. If you are uncertain whether the half pint size fits your range, or you need guidance on integrating compostable packaging across your drinks service, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£157.00(£188.40 inc VAT)
These Vegware PLA pint to brim cups are cold drink cups made entirely from plant-based PLA (polylactic acid), a renewable material derived from crops rather than fossil fuels. Supplied in the 96-Series format and marked UKCA, UKNI, and CE, they are compliant for free-pour service in the UK and across relevant European markets.
In a busy drinks or food service operation, the practical case for compostable cups centres on waste management. These cups are accepted by commercial composting facilities, breaking down within 12 weeks under the right conditions. For operators who already have a commercial composting collection in place — or who are working towards one — this makes diverting cup waste from landfill straightforward. The clear PLA material also presents cold drinks well, which matters in counter or takeaway service where appearance contributes to perceived quality.
Key operational points worth considering:
- UKCA, UKNI, and CE marked — compliant for UK and EU free-pour service
- Plant-based PLA material, commercially compostable within 12 weeks
- Clear material suits cold drinks presentation at point of sale
- Supplied in cases of 1,000, practical for moderate to high volume service
- No specialist equipment required for use — standard lid compatibility applies
PLA cups perform well with cold drinks but are not suited to hot beverages. If your service involves both hot and cold drinks, you will need separate cup stock for hot applications. It is also worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts compostable PLA before switching from conventional plastic cups, as not all local collection services do.
These cups are well suited to cafés, bars, event caterers, and food-to-go operations looking to reduce single-use plastic in their cold drinks service. For very high-volume sites, it is worth discussing case quantities and storage requirements to make sure supply keeps pace with demand. If you have questions about integrating compostable packaging into your current service setup, the team is happy to talk it through.
£74.61(£89.53 inc VAT)
These are Vegware's 79-Series lids for 8oz hot cups, made from CPLA — a plant-based material derived from corn starch rather than oil. They are designed to sit securely on Vegware's compatible 8oz cups and help prevent spills during takeaway service. Like all Vegware products, they are certified compostable and will break down in a commercial composting facility within a matter of weeks.
In a busy café or takeaway environment, the practical case for compostable packaging has become straightforward: many operators are reducing single-use plastics either by choice or to meet local waste commitments, and switching to certified compostable lids is one of the more manageable steps. These lids perform in the same way as a conventional plastic lid during service — they seat properly, resist heat, and handle the pressures of high-volume counter service without issue.
- Certified compostable — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
- Made from CPLA, a plant-derived material with a significantly lower carbon footprint than oil-based plastics
- Compatible with Vegware's 8oz hot cup range
- Supplied in cases of 1000, practical for high-turnover service
- Lightweight at 2g per lid, reducing packaging waste volume
One practical point worth noting: the composting benefit is only fully realised if you have access to a commercial composting collection service. These lids are not suitable for home composting bins and should not go into standard recycling. If your current waste contractor does not collect compostable materials, it is worth confirming this before committing to a full switch.
These lids are well suited to coffee shops, cafés, street food operators, and contract caterers running takeaway services who are working towards reducing landfill waste. If you are fitting out a new site or reviewing your disposables range more broadly, our team is happy to talk through the options.
£77.56(£93.07 inc VAT)
These are compostable hot cup lids from Vegware, designed to fit 12oz and 16oz cups in the 89-series range. Made from CPLA — a plant-based material derived from corn starch rather than oil — they offer a like-for-like replacement for conventional plastic lids in takeaway and self-serve coffee operations.
In a busy café or catering environment, lids need to seat securely and retain heat without failing under the pressure of a rushed service. These perform reliably in that context, helping to reduce spills and keep drinks at temperature during handoff — whether that's across a counter, at an event, or in a grab-and-go setup. The CPLA material holds its shape under hot liquid contact, which is a common failure point with cheaper compostable alternatives.
- Fully compostable via industrial composting facilities
- Lower embodied carbon than conventional plastic lids
- Consistent fit across Vegware 12oz and 16oz hot cup range
- Supplied in bulk quantities suited to continuous service
- Supports operators working towards single-use plastic reduction
These lids are intended for industrial composting rather than home composting or general recycling — operators should confirm collection arrangements with their waste contractor before switching. They won't be the right choice for sites without access to commercial composting infrastructure.
Well suited to cafés, contract caterers, event companies, and any operator already using Vegware cups who wants a matched lid that fits their sustainability reporting. For lower-volume settings, smaller pack sizes may be more practical to avoid stock wastage.
If you're working through a broader switch to compostable disposables or need to check compatibility with your existing cup stock, we're happy to talk it through before you order.
£70.69(£84.83 inc VAT)
These are single-walled hot cups from Vegware, made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with PLA — a plant-based material derived from corn starch rather than conventional plastic. At 455ml (16oz), they sit at the larger end of the standard hot drink cup range, making them a practical choice for large coffees, teas, and hot chocolates served in café, canteen, or catering environments.
The PLA lining provides adequate thermal resistance for typical hot beverage service and means the cup is fully compostable where industrial composting facilities are available. Unlike conventional cups, which are difficult to recycle due to their plastic lining, these can be processed through commercial composting schemes — a practical consideration for operators working towards waste reduction targets or sustainability commitments.
From an operational standpoint, the cups perform well in standard hot drink service. They hold their shape and integrity during normal handling, and Vegware produce matching compostable lids, which helps operators maintain a consistent, presentable offering without mixing compostable and non-compostable components.
- Compostable construction supports front-of-house sustainability messaging
- Matching compostable lids available to complete a fully compliant setup
- PLA lining avoids conventional plastic whilst maintaining cup integrity
- 16oz capacity suits large hot drinks common in café and canteen service
- Pack of 400 provides reasonable stock volume for regular service use
It is worth noting that compostability relies on access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down effectively in general landfill or home compost. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined cups before committing to a full rollout.
These cups are well suited to cafés, staff canteens, contract caterers, and event operators looking to reduce plastic use in their disposable serviceware. If your volume requires a larger pack format, it is worth discussing your throughput with the team to make sure you are ordering the most practical quantity for your operation.
If you are unsure whether these fit your sustainability setup or want to check compatibility with your existing waste stream, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk it through.
£61.85(£74.22 inc VAT)
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.
£55.96(£67.15 inc VAT)
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.
