Have you recently been questioning whether to make the jump to Aqueous Lined Cups? Here are some great reasons to make the switch. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us, and one of our lovely sales team will be happy to help.
What Are Aqueous Lined Cups?
Aqueous Lined Cups are a type of paper cup coated with a water-based (aqueous) barrier instead of a plastic or PLA (plant-based plastic) lining. This barrier prevents leakage while remaining recyclable and compostable. It’s a simple yet effective step forward in sustainable packaging.
1. They’re Fully Recyclable in Standard Waste Streams
Unlike plastic-lined cups, Aqueous Lined Cups can be processed by most paper recycling facilities without the need for specialised treatment. The absence of plastic makes it easier for recycling plants to separate materials, resulting in a higher rate of successful recycling.
By switching, your company can actively contribute to reducing landfill waste and improving overall recycling rates!
2. Aqueous Lined Cups Help Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Aqueous cups are manufactured using fewer resources and don’t rely on fossil fuels for plastic production. By opting for them, your business can lower its carbon emissions and support the transition to more sustainable packaging.
3. They Appeal to Eco-Conscious Consumers
Sustainability is more than a buzzword; it’s a key driver for many consumers today. Research shows that people prefer to support brands that prioritise the environment. Offering aqueous cups signals to your customers that your business shares their values and is taking proactive steps towards sustainability.
4. Aqueous Lined Cups Are Versatile and Durable
While being eco-friendly, single wall aqueous cups don’t compromise on performance. These cups are just as durable as traditional ones, offering excellent resistance to cold liquids. From coffee shops to event catering, aqueous cups are a reliable option that suits various business needs.
5. They Help Future-Proof Your Business
With governments introducing stricter regulations around single-use plastics, businesses must stay ahead of the curve. By adopting aqueous cups now, your company can future-proof its operations and avoid potential compliance issues or increased costs down the line.
6. They’re a Great Marketing Tool
Here at Paper Cup Company, you can purchase plain cups, but if you’re looking for something more personalised, our sister website, Printed Cup Company, offers a range of bespoke options. You can customise your cups with your own branding, making them a powerful marketing tool for your business.
Switching to eco-friendly alternatives like aqueous cups isn’t just great for the planet, it’s great for your brand too! Custom-branded cups with your logo and sustainability message act as mobile advertisements, spreading brand awareness wherever they go. At Printed Cup Company, we even offer a free design service to help bring your ideas to life!
