> More information on compostable certifications

What is the most environmentally friendly disposable cup?
The best option is one that’s certified home compostable, made from sustainably sourced plant-based materials, and used with a matching compostable lid. Ours are designed to break down into healthy compost, not landfill waste or microplastics. Important to note: most 'compostable' cups and lids are only certified commercially compostable which means they cannot compost at home and require dedicated composting facilities and processing
How to tell if a cup is compostable?
Look for recognised certification logos like AS 5810 Home Compostable or AS 4736 Commercially Compostable either on the products itself or on the product page. If there’s no mention to a specific certification, it’s just marketing – and likely greenwashing. For example, you can see our certification logos on this page and via the QR code printed on our cups.
Are compostable cups actually compostable?
It depends on the certification they hold. Our cups are certified home compostable to the Australian AS 5810, meaning they fully break down in a home compost bin without needing industrial processing. Many cups labelled “compostable” only meet commercial standards (AS 4736) and won’t break down at home.
How long does shipping take?
All orders are dispatch within 24hrs from our warehouse in Adelaide. On average, customers receive their order within 1 to 8 days based on State of delivery. You will receive delivery notifications at every step of the process to help you track your order
How does your 14 days free trial guarantee work?
Once you received your order, you have 14 days to try the products and if they do not support you, we'll refund* your order. *excluding shipping fees
What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable?
1. Compostable: Breaks down into safe, non-toxic compost within a specific time frame, verified by certification. 2. Biodegradable: Just means it will break down eventually, could take years, and it may leave harmful residues. Compostable is the gold standard.
Do compostable cups go in recycling?
No. Compostable cups should never go in recycling bins. They’re designed to be composted so the compost can feed the soil to grow food and plants. They belong in a home compost or commercial compost facility. Traditional plastic lined cups are recyclable in some countries but in Australia, we lack the technology to separate the paper from the plastic component so if disposed of in recycling, they actually contaminate the recycling stream meaning an even smaller recycling rate.
Can I put compostable cups in my green council bin?
It depends on your council but most likely not as only 43 councils (out of 536) accept compostable packaging in the green bin. Check on your council's website as every council is different. If you decide to go with our cups, we have a complete listing of which councils accept (or not) compostable packaging in their green bin, via the QR code printed on the cup. Generally, many don’t accept any cups (even compostable ones) in green bins due to contamination concerns. Check your local guidelines, or better yet: start composting at home!
Do compostable cups have plastic lining?
Most cups have some kind of plastic or bioplastic lining. Our home compostable cups have no traditional plastic lining. Instead, we use an aqueous coating that’s certified to safely break down completely via a home compost bin or a worm farm.
How long does it take for a compostable cup to decompose?
In a healthy home compost, our cups are certified to break down in under 24 weeks. But we’ve ran multiple trials and seen them completely break down in as little as 7 weeks. Read more about the experiment we ran with Coolseats on the blog! The break down speed depends on temperature, moisture, and how active your compost system is.

Work just as well as plastic straws
These work just as good as plastic straws, except when you throw them out they break down naturally and don’t take 450 years to decompose.

After trying the original lids provided by Compostable Alternatives we were happy to make the change to these new lids. Customers can stack the cups when carrying multiple coffees and they are easier to get onto the cups which speed up our busy service periods.
