Aqueous is a water-based coating for paper cups. These aqueous cups, otherwise known as 'water-based paper cups', are manufactured using a unique water-based dispersion coating instead of traditional plastic or bioplastic. Dispersion paper cups are certified home compostable to Australian (AS5810) standards Double wall available in four sizes with compatible lids.
Our Aqueous double wall BioCups are certified home compostable to AS5810 standards and made with a water-based dispersion coating. The coating is printed like a water-based ink, allowing it to be absorbed into the paper fibers, rather than sitting on top as an additional layer. This reduces the amount of material needed – while still providing the same leak and grease-proof benefits as other coatings. These water-based paper cups are different to our PLA bioplastic lined cups. These Aqueous cups feature a double wall for extra comfort and protection against hot drinks like long blacks or tea. With our home compostable coffee cup lids, you can put your cup and lid right in your home compost bin to break down and have a completely home compostable solution!
