Frequently Asked Questions
Do Compostable cups break down in landfills?
Not the way you think. Landfills are not designed to provide the ideal conditions for a compostable cup to properly be composted. They do not break down efficiently in landfills.
Can I compost your cups at home?
Our cups are designed to be sent to a commercial compost facility to ensure the proper conditions are met to efficiently compost.
Are compostable cups recyclable?
Generally, No. Coffee cups are a mix of paper and the plastic lining that protects the paper from your beverage. This makes the cup not fit in with any type of paper or plastic recycling due to contamination.
Are compostable cups worth it?
This can depend on a lot of factors and your "why?".
Some things to consider:
Will your cups be properly disposed of?
Disposal Education - switching products isn't enough. Customers and employees should understand too.
