BioPak, a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has announced the certification of their Aqueous coffee cups as home compostable to Australian standards (AS5810).
This breakthrough technology is a game-changer in the world of disposable paper cups, offering an eco-friendly alternative that is food safe, odorless and can be disposed of right in your backyard compost bin.
Aqueous is a technology that uses a unique water-based dispersion coating, which is applied like paint and absorbed into the paper fibres of the cup. This process significantly reduces the amount of material needed while still providing the same leak and grease-proof benefits as other coatings like traditional PE plastic.
Gary Smith, BioPak’s CEO, said that this is another step closer to reaching a sustainable future.
"Aqueous currently represents the gold standard for lining solutions on the market, but our unwavering commitment to innovation means that we are already working on new and exciting developments to be released within the year", said Smith.
Aqueous BioCups are currently available in single and double walls in stone and black colours. In March, BioPak will be launching new black cups in both single and double wall cup options in 4 oz-16 oz sizes. In the coming month BioPak will be transitioning all their BioCups colour ranges across to this new innovative water-based coating technology.
Pair these cups with their plastic-free plant fibre lids, made from at least 70% recycled plant fibre and certified home compostable.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers a fully home compostable cup solution that is both functional and visually appealing. With the release of our new Black Aqueous Cups, we are confident that we are providing a solution that meets the needs of our customers while promoting sustainability.”
