Technical Specifications

Compatible Lids – Keeping It Fully Plastic-Free

If you’re stocking home compostable hot cups in Ireland, the lid matters as much as the cup. These 12oz kraft aqueous coffee cups are the perfect match for our 90mm Plastic-Free Aqueous Paper Hot Cup Lids (12/16oz) – also aqueous lined, also plastic-free, and 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.

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

Most “compostable” 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. These aqueous coffee cups use a water-based coating with no plastic content, making them genuinely home compostable and re-pulpable through standard paper recycling.

Who Orders Aqueous Lined Coffee Cups in Bulk in Ireland?

A favourite with eco-conscious coffee shops in Dublin and Cork that have made public sustainability commitments and need their home compostable cups to back it up. Cafés in Galway and Limerick whose customers read labels and ask questions about packaging specify these aqueous coffee cups because the home compostability is verifiable – customers can actually compost them and see results. Zero-waste events in Belfast, farmers’ markets in Sligo and Donegal, and corporate sustainability programmes in Cavan all order these home compostable hot cups in bulk because they can be composted on-site or sent to paper recycling without any special infrastructure.

The 12oz size covers the majority of hot drink orders in any Irish café – flat whites, lattes, Americanos, hot chocolates. At €52.80 per bulk case of 500, the cost per cup is higher than PE-lined alternatives, but for businesses where sustainability is a genuine selling point rather than a marketing claim, the premium is justified and communicable to customers.

Every case ships from our Dublin 12 warehouse. Order before 1pm and we dispatch the same day, with free next-day delivery anywhere in Ireland. VAT-registered businesses can reclaim VAT on every order.
