12oz Greenspirit Plastic-Free Double Wall Compostable Coffee Cups | 500/Case | Ireland

The 12oz Greenspirit is the compostable coffee cup that actually does what it says — trusted by Dublin coffee shops, Cork cafés and Galway hospitality venues that have made public sustainability commitments and need their packaging to back it up. Aqueous (water-based) lining — no PE, no PLA, no plastic of any kind. Home compostable within 24 weeks. Re-pulpable through standard paper recycling. Double wall insulation, no sleeve required. 500 cups per case at €45.80 — approximately €0.09 per cup.

🔹 Smaller cup? → 8oz Greenspirit — 500/case.   🔹 Larger cup? → 16oz Greenspirit — 500/case.   🔹 Matching lid? → 90mm Plastic-Free Aqueous Paper Lid.

Most compostable coffee cups on the Irish market use PLA — a plant-based plastic that requires industrial composting at temperatures above 58°C. Industrial composting facilities are not widely available in Ireland, which means most PLA cups end up in general waste despite the compostable label. Greenspirit uses a water-based aqueous coating with no plastic content — genuinely home compostable in a standard garden compost bin within 24 weeks, and re-pulpable through standard paper recycling. The 12oz (340ml) capacity covers the majority of hot drink orders in any Irish café — lattes, flat whites, Americanos, hot chocolates. At ~€0.09 per cup it’s the cost-efficient genuinely plastic-free option.

🌱 Eco credentials: Home compostable within 24 weeks — Industrial compostable within 12 weeks — Re-pulpable through standard paper recycling — Microwave safe — No PE, no PLA, no plastic of any kind.

Aqueous vs PLA vs PE — What’s the Actual Difference?

PLA cups require industrial composting at temperatures above 58°C — facilities not widely available in Ireland. Most PLA cups end up in general waste despite the compostable label. Aqueous-lined cups compost in a standard garden bin and go in paper recycling.

Technical Specifications

Compatible Lid — Keeping It Fully Plastic-Free

If you’re committing to plastic-free coffee cups, the lid matters as much as the cup. These 12oz Greenspirit cups are designed to pair with the 90mm Plastic-Free Aqueous Paper Hot Cup Lid (12/16oz) — also aqueous lined, also plastic-free, designed specifically for this cup size. A fully compostable, fully plastic-free cup and lid combination that you can stand behind when customers ask about your packaging.

Who Uses the 12oz Greenspirit Compostable Cup?

Dublin and Cork coffee shops with public sustainability commitments — the 12oz Greenspirit is the cup for cafés that have made public sustainability commitments and need their packaging to back it up; the 24-week home compostability is verifiable — customers can test it themselves.

Galway and Limerick cafés where customers read labels — cafés whose customers ask questions about packaging specify these cups because the aqueous lining is genuinely plastic-free, not a bio-plastic that still requires industrial composting infrastructure that doesn’t exist in most of Ireland.

Zero-waste events, farmers’ markets and corporate sustainability programmes in Belfast, Sligo and Derry — the cups can be composted on-site or sent to paper recycling without any special infrastructure; no industrial composting facility required.

Multi-site operations and procurement buyers across Donegal, Cavan and beyond — 500 cups per case, volume discounts available; VAT invoice on every order; deep stock held year-round from our Dublin 12 warehouse.
