Eco-Friendly Drinking

Eco-Friendly Drinking: Minimise your Impact on the Environment with Biodegradable Paper Cups

We get through a lot of takeaway coffee, and the cups add up. Your customers notice which cup you hand them.

Recycling weeks help, but the change can't stop when the week does.

Polystyrene cups are made from oil-based materials and are rarely recycled, so once they're binned they usually end up in landfill or an incinerator.

A Brighter Future with Eco-Friendly Printing

There's a simpler option: switch to custom biodegradable cups. Ours use a PLA material, they're compostable and they're food safe.

Compostable packaging breaks down in the right composting conditions. Check how your venue or local waste service collects it before you promise your customers anything.

We print biodegradable cups from 1,000, in single or double wall, and PLA lids are available on request.

We print personalised paper cups to order in the size you choose, and our eco-friendly print range goes beyond cups to kraft business cards, recycled paper labels and recycled posters.

Which eco-friendly cup is right for you?

• Biodegradable paper cups: a PLA material, compostable, single or double wall, 4oz to 16oz, from 1,000 cups.
• Recyclable ice cream cups: FSC certified paper marked with the Paper2Paper and PAP21 logos, so they go in paper recycling.
• Reusable travel cups: a 350ml biodegradable travel cup made from 100% recycled materials, for customers who'd rather skip single-use cups.
• Cup sleeves on recycled card: our printed sleeves can use 100% recycled card, though laminating one makes it non-recyclable.

The importance of Corporate Social Responsibility for print materials

Eco-friendly print says something about your business before anyone reads what's on the cup.

It costs less than people expect, too. Our biodegradable cups are competitively priced and printed to the same standard as the rest of our range.

Switching one line of your packaging is a fair place to start. You do not have to change everything at once.

Businesses everywhere are cutting their carbon footprint, and customers notice which ones mean it.
