These are compostable double-wall hot cups from Fiesta's compostable range, designed for serving hot beverages in café, coffee shop, and mobile catering environments. The cups are made from paper with a PLA (polylactic acid) plant-based lining in place of the conventional polyethylene coating found in standard disposable cups.

The double-wall construction reduces heat transfer to the outer surface, meaning customers can hold the cup comfortably without a separate cardboard sleeve. Drinks stay hotter for longer, which matters when service is busy and cups may sit briefly before being handed over.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

  • PLA lining is plant-derived, avoiding the fossil-based plastics used in standard hot cups
  • Certified compostable — breaks down at a commercial composting facility within approximately 12 weeks
  • Double-wall design removes the need for separate cup sleeves, reducing per-serve cost and waste
  • 500-cup pack suits moderate to high-volume service without frequent reordering
  • Consistent sizing makes them compatible with most standard cup lids designed for 8oz formats

It is worth being clear on the composting requirement: these cups are compostable at an industrial or commercial composting facility, not in a standard home compost bin. If your site does not have access to a commercial composting collection, the sustainability benefit is reduced, though the plant-based materials still carry a lower carbon footprint than conventional alternatives. Operators considering a compostable cup programme should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined packaging before committing to volume.

These cups are well suited to coffee shops, café counters, and mobile or event catering where a credible sustainability story matters to customers. If your volume is significantly higher, bulk pack options may offer better unit economics.

If you're unsure whether these cups are the right fit for your service setup or waste arrangements, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Do these cups require a commercial composting facility, or can they go in a standard bin?

These cups are certified for industrial or commercial composting, where they break down within approximately 12 weeks. They are not suitable for home composting, and in a general waste stream they will not compost in the same way. Before switching to compostable cups, it is worth confirming with your waste contractor that they accept PLA-lined packaging.

Are standard 8oz lids compatible with these cups?

These cups are sized at 91mm height and 80mm diameter, which is consistent with most standard 8oz disposable cup lid formats. That said, lid compatibility can vary between manufacturers, so it is advisable to test a sample against your current lids before ordering in bulk.

Are 500 cups sufficient for a busy café, or should I be considering larger quantities?

A pack of 500 suits a moderate-volume operation or a site that prefers to manage stock in smaller runs. High-footfall coffee shops serving several hundred covers a day may find it more practical to order multiple packs at once to avoid running short during peak periods. If you are unsure what quantity suits your throughput, the team can help you work it out.
