Single-Use Plastics Ban Alternatives

Single-Use Plastics Ban Alternatives

With many single-use items (including plastic plates, cutlery, cups, stirrers, straws and polystyrene takeout containers) now banned as the Scottish, Welsh and English Government take further steps to address the climate crisis, you may well be asking: what can I use instead? Below you'll find our top compostable swaps including wooden cutlery, paper straws, plant-based take away boxes, trays and stirrers.

Please refer to our Quick-Look Guide for what's banned where and when.

Cups, Lids + Stirrers

All of our takeaway cups are lined with a water-based liner, use water-based inks and have been (EN13432 and home compost) certified. This means that they are suitable for industrial composting (where facilitated) and can be disposed of in a home compost heap. All of our materials come from sustainably managed forests and plantations.

Available in 8oz, 12oz and 16oz sizes and in three branded finishes – kraft-finish Natural, slate-look Gastro and colourful Botanical – these disposable paper cups have a unique double walled design that makes them suitable for both hot and cold drinks.

We offer two lid options, compostable paper lids which are lined with a PLA coating and PLA lids which, while made from corn starch, won’t warp, crack or melt over piping hot drinks. Our compostable lids will break down in an industrial composting environment (where facilitated).
