We were delighted to reveal our brand new cup design at The London Coffee Festival 2024, created by LCF sustainable cup partner decent packaging.

Decent packaging has long been a champion of eco-conscious solutions in the packaging industry, and their commitment to sustainability (“everything we make, we can unmake”) shines brighter than ever with their recent B Corp certification. This prestigious designation recognises decent packaging's efforts to balance profit with purpose, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

Now, let's delve into the star of the show: the aqueous cup. Decent packaging's aqueous-coated cups are a game-changer in the world of sustainable packaging. Crafted from responsibly sourced paper, these cups are not only eco-friendly but also offer superior performance.

What makes these cups truly remarkable is their unique water-based barrier coating. Unlike traditional cups lined with plastic, decent packaging's aqueous cups feature an innovative barrier coating that is certified industrially compostable to European standards (EN13432). This means that at the end of its life cycle, the cup can be composted in industrial facilities, reducing waste and closing the loop on resources.

But that's not all – these cups have passed rigorous home compostability tests, including the Earthworm test, further highlighting their eco-friendly credentials. And when disposed of in paper recycling waste streams, they can be easily recycled, minimising their environmental footprint even further.

All of the aqueous cups will be collected and composted after the festival courtesy of decent packaging.

The future of sustainable packaging is here, and it's deliciously decent.
