Single wall or double wall?
-
Single wall: economical, counter service and vending. For very hot drinks, add a cardboard sleeve.
-
Double wall: insulating air layer, keeps hot drinks hot for longer, can be held without a sleeve. The takeaway standard (coffee shop, bakery, food truck). Premium finish: barista range.
PE, PLA or plastic-free: the inner lining
A thin inner layer makes the cardboard watertight. Three families:
-
PE (polyethylene): the most common and most economical, plastic-based;
-
PLA: plant-based bioplastic, compostable in industrial facilities;
-
aqueous dispersion: plastic-free, recyclable in the paper-cardboard stream.
Actual recyclability depends on the lining and the collection stream. Covr puts its customers in touch with providers of cup collection and recycling.
Lids and accessories
The lid is chosen according to the cup diameter, not its capacity: see the cup lids. Additions: stirrers, sugar sticks, cup holders, coffee capsules.
