Disposable Single Wall Coffee Cups | Compostable & Eco-Friendly

Single Wall Coffee Cups: Premium Insulated Cups Made for Conscious Coffee Culture

At Zero Pac, we believe that sustainability should never come at the cost of quality or convenience. That’s why our Single Wall Coffee Cups are crafted with a next-generation aqueous (water-based) lining, offering a genuinely plastic-free solution for cafés, caterers, and businesses across Australia. These cups deliver the reliable performance you expect for hot beverages while aligning with a conscious coffee culture focused on eco-friendly choices.

Water-Based Lining: What Makes Aqueous Cups Different?

Unlike traditional takeaway cups lined with petroleum-based plastic or bioplastic (PLA), Zero Pac’s single wall cups feature a microscopically thin aqueous dispersion barrier. This innovative lining resists moisture and heat like plastic but without environmental drawbacks. Free of fossil fuel-based materials, our cups are certified compostable (home and commercial), breaking down faster and cleaner than PLA-lined alternatives.

They also avoid the recycling contamination issues commonly associated with PLA, integrating more easily into standard paper recycling streams. This makes them a responsible option for venues looking to reduce waste while meeting customer demand for truly sustainable packaging.

Single Wall Design: Lightweight, Versatile, and Efficient

Single wall coffee cups are a staple in foodservice, valued for their simplicity and efficiency. The single-layer structure reduces material use and production energy, offering a lower carbon footprint. These cups are lightweight, easy to stack, and space-saving — ideal for cafés, food trucks, and mobile vendors.

While they don’t have built-in insulation, they pair seamlessly with compostable sleeves for extra heat protection when needed. This gives baristas flexibility and helps reduce unnecessary material use. Despite the simplicity, they maintain a premium tactile and visual experience for end users.

Compostable, Recyclable, and Plastic-Free

Zero Pac’s single wall cups meet Australian compostability standards AS4736 (industrial) and AS5810 (home). They break down naturally without leaving harmful residues. Additionally, their plastic-free composition allows for acceptance in many paper recycling streams, further supporting circular waste systems in hospitality.

Our aqueous cups enable a future-focused approach to sustainability, offering dual end-of-life pathways: composting and recycling — a rare combination in single-use packaging.

Available in a Range of Sizes for All Beverages

Zero Pac’s single wall range includes 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz cups — ideal for espresso, piccolo, latte, or large takeaways. A consistent rim profile across sizes ensures compatibility with our leak-proof compostable lids for a reliable, spill-free service experience.

The clean matte white exterior suits both minimalist branding and vibrant custom prints, providing a premium, modern look that complements any venue. It’s also a powerful branding touchpoint for environmentally conscious operators.
