Options & Materials

Three Coating Options —
From Standard PE to Compostable PLA

The inner coating determines your cup's sustainability profile, recyclability, and cost. Choose from PE, PLA compostable, or aqueous recyclable — all of them PFAS-free by independent test report.

Paper cup coating comparison: PE, PLA and aqueous coated cups side by side
Paper cup coating comparison: PE-coated (standard recyclable), PLA compostable (plant-based, industrially compostable), and aqueous water-based coating (film-free barrier). All food-safe with documented food-contact compliance.

🛡️ PE Coating

The most widely used coating for disposable paper cups. A thin polyethylene film laminated to the inner surface provides reliable moisture and heat resistance for hot and cold beverages.

Advantages

  • Lowest cost per unit
  • Excellent moisture barrier
  • Compatible with all beverages
  • Widely recyclable where facilities exist

Considerations

  • Not compostable
  • Requires specialized recycling

Certifications

ISO 9001Documented food-contact compliance
