The range covers three main cup styles: standard cups from small shot and tasting sizes right through to large event-sized cups, bevelled cups with a wider opening at the top for a more stylish pour, and tall cups for a slimmer profile. All three are made from PLA — polylactic acid — a bioplastic derived from plant starch rather than petroleum. They are clear, BPA-free, and non-toxic. They can also be hand washed between uses, which is handy for events where cups get refilled rather than replaced.
PLA is not just a marketing term. These cups break down completely in a commercial composting facility, which makes them genuinely different from standard plastic. A food truck running a Saturday market could get multiple uses out of each cup before composting them at the end of the day. A craft brewery offering tasting flights would find the smaller sizes a natural fit. A local council running an outdoor food festival might go for the larger event-sized cups to keep glass off the grass. Each cup can be printed with your logo, event name, or bar branding.
For venues and events that have made a public commitment to reducing waste, the cup itself becomes part of the message. Attendees notice when a festival or venue has made the switch from standard plastic, and a printed cup reinforces that positioning every time it is held. The clear material also means the drink inside is fully visible, which matters for venues serving craft beer, cocktails, or anything where colour and presentation are part of the experience.
Things People Ask
What is PLA?
PLA (polylactic acid) is a bioplastic made from plant starch — corn, sugarcane, or similar crops — rather than petroleum. It composts completely in a commercial composting facility without leaving microplastics behind.
Can they be used for hot drinks?
No. PLA warps under heat, so these are for cold beverages only. Not suitable for coffee, tea, or any hot liquid.
Are they durable enough to be reused on the day?
Yes. They hold up well to hand washing in warm soapy water and can be reused multiple times before composting.
What is the difference between standard and bevelled styles?
Standard cups have straight vertical walls. Bevelled cups are wider at the opening and taper toward the base, giving them a more premium look that suits cocktails and craft drinks.
