Biopac launches new compostable green cup

The manufacturer of biodegradable and compostable packaging said that its new cup was aimed at coffee outlets who want to demonstrate their commitment to the environment.

The new cup is a sister product to Biopac’s ‘I’m not a plastic cup’, launched last year.

Made from certified FSC board lined with a starch material, the cup is 100% compostable, so very kind to the environment.

The cups are available in 8oz and 12oz and there is also a fully compostable sip through lid to fit each size. The cups are packed in quantities of 1000 cups.

The firm’s clients include Hard Rock Café, KFC, Urban Pie and Vestey Foods, along with a number of other well established names

Biopac director Mark Brigden said: “We wanted to design a compostable hot cup which would help our clients give a clear message about their commitment to the environment. The bold printed graphics help to achieve this.”

While the graphics are standard, Biopac said that it offers a bespoke design service for companies wishing to have their logo printed.

Brigden added: “The cups are ideal for coffee outlets, festivals and outdoor events, as well as general foodservice. They are in stock now and are already proving popular with a number of our clients.”

The cups are certified to European standards for compostability – EN13432.
