Product Description
These are single-use cold cups made from PLA — a plant-based plastic alternative that is certified compostable. At 200ml (7oz), they sit in the smaller end of the cold cup range, making them well suited to cold brew shots, juice portions, water service, or sample-sized drinks rather than full cold drinks servings. The slim profile keeps them compact on counters and in dispensers.
PLA performs well in cold applications but is not suitable for hot drinks. Operators should be aware that PLA compostability requires access to industrial composting facilities — these cups will not break down effectively in general waste or home compost bins. If your operation does not have a route to an industrial composter, the environmental benefit is reduced, and it is worth considering whether compostable packaging aligns with your actual waste management setup before committing to volume.
For operations that do have composting in place — festival sites, contract caterers, university refectories, and similar — these cups integrate cleanly into a compostable serviceware programme. The 1,000-unit pack quantity suits regular, ongoing use rather than one-off events.
- Reduces single-use conventional plastic in cold drink service
- Consistent sizing aids portion control for cold beverages and samples
- Slim cup profile suits standard cold cup dispensers
- Pairs with Vegware compostable lids and straws for a matched serviceware set
If you are building out a full compostable serviceware programme or want to discuss cup sizing across your service stations, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No. PLA is a cold-use material and will distort if used with hot beverages. These cups are intended solely for cold drinks, cold brew, juices, water, or similar ambient and chilled service applications.
- Yes — PLA requires industrial composting conditions to break down correctly. It will not compost effectively in general waste streams or standard home compost. Before committing to compostable packaging, it is worth confirming your site has access to an industrial composting collection or a waste contractor who accepts compostable materials.
- The slim 76mm diameter is a standard cold cup size that fits many common dispensers, but it is always worth checking against your existing dispenser specifications before ordering at volume. Vegware also produces a range of compostable lids and straws designed to be compatible with their cup range, which can help maintain a consistent serviceware set.
