Nice to meet you. I am the next-generation paper cup.
Our aqueous cup utilises advanced manufacturing technology—a water-based dispersion system of polystyrene and polyacrylate polymers to create strong oxygen and oil barriers and insulation properties. Unlike the PLA linings used in our EcoCup range, where PLA is sprayed onto the paper, aqueous linings function as a pigment that is absorbed into the fibres when applied to the paper. Water dispersion requires fewer polymers to create the barrier vital to transport and protect foodstuffs. For a PLA-free cup solution, pair our Aqueous EcoCup with the sugarcane paper lid.
*Cup sizes are measured to brim capacity. 285 ml and 400 ml options are available.

End of Life
Industrial Composting
Our aqueous cups are certified compostable to the AS 4736, EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards for industrial composting, verified by DIN CERTCO, which requires the compostable product to:
1) disintegrate after 12 weeks, and
2) completely biodegrade after six months. (This means that 90% or more of the material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass – i.e. valuable compost.)
