Our Aqueous Cups are a home compostable hot cup lined with a water-based coating instead of plastic. It gives leak and grease resistance while using far less synthetic polymer than plastic or bioplastic-lined cups. Certified Home Compostable to AS 5810 with no intentionally added PFAS, they come in single and double wall, in a range of sizes and three colours.
Bulk Aqueous Compostable Coffee Cups for Cafés, Events and Caterers
Detpak's Aqueous Cups offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional disposable coffee cups. Instead of a plastic or bioplastic lining, they use a water-based dispersion coating that cuts plastic use by up to two-thirds compared with typical plastic-lined cups, while still delivering the leak and grease resistance hot drinks need. Every cup is certified Home Compostable to AS 5810 and made with no intentionally added PFAS, which makes them a strong fit for cafés, food trucks, offices, events and caterers with sustainability front of mind.
The range is available in single wall and double wall, in sizes including 4oz, 8oz, 8oz Squat, 12oz, 12oz Tall and 16oz, and in three colours to suit your fit-out. For a completely home compostable serve, top them with fibre Sugarcane Lids for Coffee Cups. Browse the wider Takeaway Coffee Cups & Accessories range, or compare other formats including economical Single Wall Coffee Cups, commercially compostable Single Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined and Double Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined, and textured Ripple Wrap Cups. You can also pair them with CPLA Lids for Coffee Cups, Paper Cold Cups, Takeaway Drink Trays and Paper Straws to round out your service.
FAQs
What is an aqueous lined cup?
It is a paper cup finished with a water-based dispersion coating rather than a plastic or bioplastic layer. The water-based lining provides leak and grease resistance while reducing synthetic polymer use compared with plastic and bioplastic-lined cups, and it is what allows our Aqueous Cups to be certified home compostable. For a commercially compostable bioplastic option instead, see Single Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined.
Are Aqueous Cups home compostable?
Yes. Aqueous Cups are certified Home Compostable to the Australian Standard AS 5810 and are made with no intentionally added PFAS. For a fully home compostable serve, pair them with fibre Sugarcane Lids for Coffee Cups. Environmental claims relate to Australian legislation, so check the requirements that apply in your region.
What sizes and styles do Aqueous Cups come in?
They are available in single wall and double wall, in sizes including 4oz, 8oz, 8oz Squat, 12oz, 12oz Tall and 16oz, and in three colours. If you need a non-insulated economical option or a textured grip without a sleeve, compare Single Wall Coffee Cups and Ripple Wrap Cups.
What lids fit Aqueous Cups?
Our fibre Sugarcane Lids for Coffee Cups pair with Aqueous Cups for a complete home compostable combination, and CPLA Lids for Coffee Cups offer a smooth bioplastic alternative. The shared lid sizing across our hot cup range also fits Single Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined and Double Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined, which simplifies inventory.
What is the difference between aqueous and PLA lined cups?
Both move away from conventional plastic linings, but they compost differently. Aqueous Cups use a water-based coating and are certified home compostable to AS 5810, while Single Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined and Double Wall Coffee Cups Pla Lined use a plant-based PLA bioplastic lining certified commercially compostable to AS 4736. Choose aqueous for home compostability, and PLA-lined when you have access to commercial composting.
