Ever wonder if recycling cups is better than composting? There's a lot of confusion about compostable bio coffee cups, and we're here to set the record straight by debunking 5 of the more common myths about bioplastics.
BioCups are made from a bioplastic that is derived from rapidly renewable plant sources such as corn, rather than limited fossil fuels. Ingeo™ PLA (polylactic acid) uses 52% less energy to produce and has a 71.8% lower carbon footprint than ordinary plastics. Designed for the circular economy, it biodegrades into nutrient-rich compost in industrial composting facilities.
Australia and New Zealand compost BioCups' 30+ commercial composting facilities. This number is growing every week. Our BioPak composting service collects compostable packaging and food waste from over 2,200 suburbs in every state (including Victoria). Our customers diverted 700 tons of waste from landfills in one year.
Paper soup cup are made by biodegradable kraft, bamboo or enamel paper board with PE lining. usually used for hot soups, porridge and pasta, frozen foods including ice cream or yogurt and other snacks. cups can be custom printed.
Neither PE nor PLA-lined cups can be recycled in the residential paper/plastic recycling stream. However, in a growing number of places, such as South Australia, BioCups can be composted in residential green bins along with coffee grounds, other compostable packaging and food scraps.
BioCups are independently certified by AS4736 that when processed in an industrial composting facility, they will completely biodegrade into non-toxic, high-quality compost without leaving any microplastics behind. Through our composting services, our customers make 50,000 x 10 kg bags of compost - returning nutrients to the soil through a proven closed-loop solution.
Ideally, no cup should go into a landfill. Landfill conditions allow the biodegradation process of organic matter to emit harmful methane gas. If BioCups and regular coffee cups end up doing this, BioCups contribute fewer greenhouse gases and use less non-renewable energy in their manufacture than regular cups do.
