Disposal
Our cold drink takeaway cups are sturdy and versatile, with matching leak-proof lids available. They are certified industrially compostable to Australian (AS4736) standards. Rather than being destined for landfill like most conventional plastic cups, our cold cups have been designed for the circular economy to be industrially composted.
The Problem With Single-Use Plastic Cups
Conventional single-use plastic cold cups are made from fossil fuels. After a short useful life of approximately 20 minutes, these cups usually end up in a landfill, where it takes hundreds of years to break down. BioCup cold drink cups are a sustainable, practical, convenient and hygienic option for serving takeaway cold drinks. These compostable cups are versatile and can be used as beer cups, yoghurt cups, dessert cups, fruit cups and more. A selection (R-420, R-360Y) of our clear and paper cups are weights and measures approved for the service of alcohol.
Take climate action by choosing these disposable cold drink cups with lids as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic cups. Read more in our blog about why single-use plastic is a problem.
The Solution: Clear Cups
BioPak offers a range of eco-friendly clear cups suitable for a range of cold beverages – and can even be used to package takeaway muesli, fruit salads and desserts! Our clear cold cups are made from Ingeo™ – a bioplastic made from plants and offer a more sustainable alternative to plastic cups. They look and perform like traditional clear plastic cups with lids when serving cold food and drinks.
Biodegradable is Misleading
When it comes to biodegradable clear cups, the term ‘biodegradable’ is often misused by marketers. The claims that a special additive can help conventional plastic 'biodegrade' are unsubstantiated and do not carry independent certification. On the contrary, research shows that these plastics fragment into small pieces but do not disappear. In addition, using (biodegradable plastic) doesn’t solve the issue of using fossil fuel resources.
