Compostable Plastic Cups

Compostable plastic cups have become an efficient solution for businesses looking to offer takeaway drinks while reducing waste without compromising on functionality. Coffee shops, restaurants, events, and takeaway services are increasingly incorporating these types of containers into their daily operations, for both hot and cold drinks.

Compostable plastic cups deliver excellent performance while also demonstrating a brand’s commitment to the environment.

These biodegradable cups are made from materials such as PLA (polylactic acid), cardboard with plant-based coating, or natural fibres — all materials that break down under controlled conditions without leaving harmful residues.

Even though these products are designed for single use, their environmental impact is minimal compared to other disposable options. At Monouso, we offer a wide range of compostable plastic cups in various sizes, materials, and formats, so you can find exactly what your business needs to succeed.

Compostable plastic cups: Sustainable, convenient and practical

Compostable plastic cups

Compostable plastic cups are an alternative designed to maintain temperature, prevent leaks and offer a comfortable experience for the consumer. They contain no petroleum-based plastics, making them compliant with new regulations on single-use packaging.

Features of compostable plastic cups

  • Suitable for hot and cold drinks: Some models are specifically designed for coffee, tea or soups, while others are intended for soft drinks, smoothies or natural juices.
  • Made from sustainable materials: PLA, kraft paper, paper with plant-based lining or sugarcane — all sourced from renewable materials.
  • Safe and durable: They retain their shape, do not soften easily and offer a pleasant, hassle-free experience for customers.

These cups are functional and reflect a responsible attitude from your brand — something your customers appreciate, especially in contexts where sustainability is no longer optional, but expected.

How to choose the right compostable plastic cup?

The choice depends on the type of drink, service format and context. Here are the key factors to consider:

  • Drink temperature: make sure to select a model best suited for hot or cold use.
