  • Consideration: Requires access to commercial composting, not suitable for home compost bins.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Blend & Go', a popular smoothie stall in Leeds Kirkgate Market, wanted to move away from traditional oil-based plastics to better align with their healthy, natural ethos. They needed a disposable cup that was both sturdy and  environmentally friendly.

"Our customers are very eco-conscious, and  they were actively asking what our cups were made of. Switching to the Fiesta Green PLA cups was a brilliant move. They look professional, they’re strong, and  our regulars genuinely love that we’ve made the change. It just fits our brand perfectly."

Samuel Jones – Co-Founder, Blend & Go

The switch led to a noticeable increase in positive customer engagement and  mentions on local social media, reinforcing their reputation as a thoughtful, sustainable local business.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Storing Them Right

  • Store cups in a cool, dry area away from any direct heat sources.
  • Keep them in their protective plastic sleeves until you're ready to use them.
  • Avoid storing in direct sunlight, as high heat can cause the PLA material to warp.
  • Stack boxes carefully to avoid crushing the cups inside.

Disposing of Them Correctly

  • These cups are for cold liquids only – do not use them for hot tea or coffee.
  • Dispose of them in a dedicated commercial food waste bin if your waste collector supports it.
  • Always check with your local authority or waste management partner about their commercial composting facilities.
  • Inform your customers on how to dispose of them correctly to ensure they end up in the right waste stream.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Disposable Cups

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect disposable cup.

Material Matters

PLA (like these cups) is a plant-based plastic for cold drinks. PET is a recyclable, oil-based plastic also for cold drinks. Paper cups, often with a PE or PLA lining, can be used for hot or cold. Choose the material that best suits your drinks menu and  brand values.

Get the Volume Right

Check the ounce (oz) or millilitre (ml) capacity. A 7oz is great for water coolers, 12oz is a standard coffee, and  a 20oz like this one is perfect for large smoothies or pints, ensuring you don't over or under-pour.

Check Lid Compatibility

There’s nothing worse than a cup without a lid that fits. Always check the product description for compatible lid codes (like FA345 and  FA346 for this cup) to ensure a secure, spill-free fit for takeaway orders.

Hot or Cold?

This is crucial. PLA cups are strictly for cold use only as heat can cause them to lose their shape. For hot drinks, you will always need a purpose-made paper hot cup.

Think About Appearance

Crystal-clear cups are fantastic for showing off layered drinks, smoothies, and  juices. If brand visibility is key, you might consider custom printing, which works best on paper or frost-effect cups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use these cups for hot drinks like coffee or tea?

A: No, these cups are made from PLA and  are designed for cold liquids only. High temperatures will cause them to soften and  lose their shape.

Q: What is the difference between 'compostable' and  'biodegradable'?

A: 'Compostable' means an item can break down into natural elements in a specific composting environment, which is certified (BS EN 13432). 'Biodegradable' is a more general term and  doesn't guarantee the item will break down in a specific timeframe or without leaving residue.

Q: Can I put these in my home compost bin?

A: Unfortunately not. They require the high temperatures of an industrial or commercial composting facility to break down correctly.

Q: What does PLA actually stand for?

A: PLA stands for Polylactic Acid. It's a type of plastic derived from renewable, plant-based sources like corn starch or sugar cane, rather than petroleum.

Q: Are the compatible lids (FA345/FA346) also compostable?

A: Yes, the recommended Fiesta Green lids that fit these cups are also made from compostable PLA, allowing for a fully eco-friendly disposal solution.

Q: Will the PLA material affect the taste of my drinks?

A: No, PLA is an inert material that will not impart any flavour or odour to your drinks, ensuring your smoothies and  juices taste exactly as you intended.

Q: How sturdy are these eco-friendly disposable cups 20oz?

A: They are very sturdy and  resistant to cracking, designed specifically to handle cold liquids, ice, and  the general hustle of a busy service environment.

Q: What is the best way to store them before use?

A: They should be stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain their structural integrity.

What 'Commercially Compostable' Really Means for You

You see 'commercially compostable' on packaging, but what does it actually involve? Think of it like specialist recycling. While you can't just toss these biodegradable plastic cold cups in your garden compost heap, they are designed for a specific, powerful process. The BS EN 13432 certification is a guarantee that when sent to an industrial composting facility, these cups will break down completely into nutrient-rich soil within 12 weeks. These facilities use high temperatures, humidity, and  microorganisms to do the job properly. It's a closed-loop system that turns your cup waste back into something useful, which is far better than sending it to a landfill where it would take centuries to degrade, if at all.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Juice & Smoothie Bars: The crystal-clear design is perfect for showing off your vibrant, healthy creations.
  • Independent Cafés: Offer your iced lattes and  cold brews in packaging that reflects your commitment to quality.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: A reliable, eco-friendly choice for serving drinks at festivals, markets, and  functions.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Ideal for packaging freshly squeezed juices, yoghurts, or fruit pots for customers on the go.
