The Future of Coffee Cups is Here: PHA-Lined Cups For the past two years, we’ve been quietly trialing PHA coffee cups, one of the most exciting breakthroughs in sustainable packaging. PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) is a biopolymer created through a natural microbial fermentation process, much like brewing beer. The PHA we use is derived from corn starch sugars and oils. Bacteria feed on these sugars, producing ‘fat’ that forms the raw material for PHA. Cafes owners, we know how frustrating it is when you’ve done all the hard work to try to make your business fully sustainable and you keep getting let down by these misleading and pricey “compostable” cups that cannot be composted where you are. That’s why we created Compostable Alt. cups and lids that are durable, super accessible and certified home compostable for that full circle moment. Most takeaway coffee cups are only commercially compostable and end up in landfill. We’ve fixed this by designing and manufacturing a product than can be composted by anyone without relying on perfect waste infrastructure. Certified home compostable (AS5810) Marine biodegradable (ASTM D 6691) No plastic Durable and leak-proof: behaves like a normal cup Tasteless, non-soggy, home compostable fibre lids available here Same size lid 80mm on our 6oz, 80z and 12oz Fast, reliable Australia-wide shipping Available from 4oz to 16oz, our certified home compostable disposable coffee cups (AS5810) are suitable for hot and cold drinks, feature clear disposal instructions and come wrapped in paper sleeves, not plastic! “An amazing company that not only produces quality products, but is promoting and supporting sustainability in the cafe industry. We highly recommend Compostable Alternatives for all disposable coffee cups and packaging.” – Katelynn “Wonderful service and product. In a landscape full of “fake green” folk we found this mob to be our best option. Products and prices on point. We did local next day pick up in ADL and was super simple. No brainer. 5�� ” – Adam
