The problem with compostable cups in Australia:

Most compostable cups in Australia are only commercially compostable and are often not labelled to let you or your customers know.

As there is no labelling requirements for takeaway coffee cups, products often mention vague claims of sustainability like “compostable” or “biodegradable” without specifying what type of compostable they are and how to correctly dispose of them to become compost.

This grey area tricks business owners like you into thinking you’ve made the right sustainable choice for your business when in fact, you’ve sadly been greenwashed, resulting in more cups ending up in landfill.

The difference between Home and Commercially compostable cups:

1. home compostable cups are able to be composted by anyone in a backyard compost, in just a few weeks.
2. commercially compostable cups require industrial processing and dedicated facilities to be broken down into compost, only available in 43 councils around Australia.

The difference between compostable and biodegradable cups:

• Compostable: Breaks down into safe, non-toxic compost within a specific time frame, verified by certification.
• Biodegradable: Just means it will break down eventually, could take years, and it may leave harmful residues. Compostable is the gold standard.
