Managed Sourced Fiber for Paper Cups

All our branded or personalised paper cup materials are made from 100% virgin wood fibers, sourced from sustainably managed forests and renewable resources. Well-managed forests provide clean air and water, maintain soil quality, preserve biodiversity and habitats, and sequester CO2, among many other ecosystem services.

Recyclable Custom Paper Coffee Cups

Are our standard branded or custom paper coffee cups recyclable? The simple answer is yes.

Many people believe that Printed coffee Paper cups are not recyclable, but here's why that's a misconception:

Custom Paper coffee cups are made from paper.
The paper is coated with a polyethylene lining (PE).
PE is a plastic product.
Both PE and paper are recyclable.

Despite common misconceptions, most recycling facilities in Australia do process PE-lined paper products, such as milk cartons and coffee cups, which are similar to custom paper coffee cups.

100% Bioplastics Compostable Paper Cups

Our compostable branded or custom paper coffee cups feature a plant-based bio-plastic PLA (Poly-lactic-acid) coating, which prevents water leaks. Coffee Cup Media has been providing these eco-friendly cups to our clients since 2016. PLA cups are 100% compostable and biodegradable, breaking down under favourable industrial composting conditions. In some areas, they can be collected with food waste. Products made with bio-plastics generate fewer carbon emissions compared to conventional plastics.

If you're seeking a supplier for compostable custom branded paper cups, we are your trusted partner, offering custom-printed compostable cups with extensive experience and the highest quality standards.
