Do you absolutely love your coffee on the go? Whether it’s a piping hot matcha latte or a classic cup of joe, your everyday coffee breaks deserve a planet-safe touch. That said, rather than taking them every time on those chemically-slathered plastic takeaway cups, compostable hot cups are here for a sustainable change.
Compostable hot cups are made from natural plant material like upcycled sugarcane bagasse. With no plastic or trees, these disposable hot cups are planet-safe and come with absolutely no toxins. That said, here’s how compostable hot cups are a great sustainable upgrade for your coffee routine.
Also, read on to explore the top 10 benefits of using environmentally friendly disposable hot cups.
Compostable Hot Cups: What Are They?
Let’s admit it. For many of us, coffee is pretty integral to our morning routine. Whether you like a classic-old cup or a fancy one, taking your coffee with you to work, travel, or attend meetings is pretty much a given. However, we all know the impact of using single-use plastic or paper cups. To start with, plastic disposable cups are made from non-renewable resources and don’t really hold a cup of hot coffee nicely. And, in the case of paper cups, these cups are often made from virgin or recycled paper. Meaning, there are a lot of chemical nasties you add to your drink with these ones.
Lastly, reusable cups are a better option when compared. However, when it comes to convenience, they are not exactly our first choice either, especially if you dread doing the dishes. This is why we think compostable cups are worth trying out for.
Like single-use plastic or paper cups, these eco-friendly disposable hot cups are also meant to be used just once. However, since they are not made from trees or plastic, they have a low environmental impact. In most cases, compostable hot cups are made from plant materials like upcycled sugarcane bagasse. Bagasse is a by-product left behind once juice is extracted from sugarcane stalks. In fact, EcoSoul’s compostable hot cups are USDA-certified for being made from just plants. In short, there’s no plastic or toxins here.
Apart from being made from natural resources, these cups actually go back to nature. While disposable plastic cups for coffee take a long time to break down and often end up being dumped in landfills or the oceans, compostable hot cups break down fast. Our certified compostable hot cups can break down into actual bio-compost within just 90-180 days of disposal in a compost bin.
So, while plastic cups leave a lot of mess behind (microplastics and toxins in the soil or oceans), these disposable hot cups, made from bagasse, break down into compost, which can be used as manure for soil.
