Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Green Bean, a health-focused café in Bristol, wanted their packaging to reflect their commitment to fresh, organic ingredients. They switched from their previous oil-based plastic cups to the Vegware CL738 compostable cold cups 200ml to eliminate plastic waste.

"Our customers immediately noticed the change. We’ve had so many positive comments about using plant-based cups. It just makes sense for our brand, and  it feels good knowing we’re not adding to the plastic problem. They’re great quality, too."

Samuel Jones – Owner, The Green Bean

The café reported a significant increase in positive customer engagement online and  found the switch reinforced their position as a leading sustainable food spot in the city.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Storage & Handling

  • Store cups in their original packaging in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep them away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent warping.
  • Ensure a 'first in, first out' stock rotation system.
  • Handle sleeves carefully to avoid crushing or damaging the cups.

Best Practice & Disposal

  • Only use for cold drinks and  food (max 40°C). Do not use for hot coffee or soup.
  • Train staff to inform customers that the cups should go in a food waste or compost bin.
  • Check with your local waste contractor about their commercial composting collection services.
  • Use compatible Vegware 76-Series lids for a secure, leak-resistant fit.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Disposable Cups

Feeling a bit lost in the world of disposables? Here are a few pointers to help you pick the perfect cup for your business.

Material Matters

Consider your eco-goals. PLA, like these Vegware cups, is plant-based and  compostable, which is great for a green message. Paper cups are often lined with plastic or PLA, so check their recyclability or compostability.

Capacity Is Key

Think about your portion sizes. A 7oz cup is brilliant for a small juice, kids' drink, or a scoop of ice cream, but you might need 12oz or 16oz for larger smoothies or milkshakes. Consistency is key for costing.

Lid Compatibility

There’s nothing worse than a leaky lid! Always check which lids fit your chosen cup. Brands like Vegware use a series system (e.g., 76-Series) to make it easy to match cups and  lids, saving you a massive headache.

Hot or Cold?

This is non-negotiable. PLA cold cups cannot handle hot drinks as they will lose their shape. For coffees and  teas, you need a double-walled or insulated paper hot cup designed to protect hands and  hold its structure.

Consider Your Brand

What does your cup say about you? A clear PLA cup shows off the product inside, while a custom-branded paper cup can be a walking advertisement. An eco-friendly cup quietly boosts your brand's reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is PLA?

A: PLA stands for Polylactic Acid. It's a bioplastic made from renewable plant-based resources like corn starch, making it a fantastic, sustainable alternative to traditional oil-based plastics.

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

A: No, these cups are designed for cold use only. They are suitable for contents up to a maximum temperature of 40°C. They will warp or melt if used for hot beverages.

Q: Can I put these compostable cold cups 200ml in my home compost bin?

A: It is not recommended. These cups are designed for commercial composting, which uses high heat and  specific conditions to break them down effectively. They will not break down properly in a domestic compost heap.

Q: Are the cups recyclable?

A: No, PLA is not widely accepted in UK recycling streams. They should be disposed of in a commercial food waste or compost bin.

Q: Are lids included with the cups?

A: No, the compatible Vegware 76-Series lids are sold separately. This allows you to choose between flat lids or domed lids depending on your needs.

Q: What is the exact capacity of these cups?

A: They have a capacity of 7oz, which is equivalent to approximately 200ml. This is a great size for standard cold drinks, desserts, and  yoghurts.

Q: How many cups are in one case?

A: Each case contains 1000 cups, making it a cost-effective bulk option for busy commercial environments.

Q: Are the cups completely clear?

A: Yes, they are made from a high-clarity PLA material, which ensures excellent visibility to showcase the contents inside.

What Does 'Commercially Compostable' Actually Mean?

You'll see 'commercially compostable' on these Vegware CL738 cups, and  it’s a key difference from just being 'biodegradable'. The material, PLA, is a fantastic bioplastic made from plant starch. However, to break down efficiently and  turn back into soil, it needs the specific conditions of an industrial composting facility – think high temperatures, consistent moisture, and  the right microorganisms.

It’s a bit like baking a cake. You can have all the right ingredients (the PLA cup), but you need the heat of an oven (the industrial facility) to turn it into the finished product (compost). Your garden compost heap is like leaving the cake mix on the counter – it just won't work the same way. That's why guiding your customers to the right food waste bin is so important for these cups to complete their green journey.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Juice & Smoothie Bars: Perfect for showcasing vibrant, healthy drinks while reinforcing a natural, eco-friendly brand message.
  • Dessert Parlours & Gelaterias: An ideal vessel for serving scoops of ice cream, frozen yoghurt, or fruit salads to-go.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: A practical, responsible choice for festivals and  markets where disposables are a must.
  • Corporate Canteens & Cafés: Helps large organisations meet their sustainability goals and  offer staff a greener choice.
