With a 4oz (approximately 115ml) capacity, these compostable coffee cups provide a clean, consistent format for espresso, short coffee servings, and small hot drink portions - backed by a PLA inner lining that allows the cup to be composted under industrial composting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size is the standard format for espresso shots, short macchiatos, and small tea servings in UK foodservice. The 4oz compostable cup gives operators a direct like-for-like alternative to the standard PE-lined version, with the same compact dimensions, the same stackable single-wall construction, and the same plain white finish - suited to countertop dispensers, high-turnover beverage stations, and sampling workflows. Where operators are working towards verified sustainability targets or serving customers in sustainability-conscious markets, the compostable format provides a credible, operationally viable option at this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cup is manufactured from responsibly sourced paperboard with a PLA (polylactic acid) inner lining derived from plant-based sources. The PLA coating provides a functional barrier against hot liquid during standard single-service use, and the cup is designed to be composted under industrial composting conditions when disposed of correctly. BPA-free and suitable for direct food and beverage contact. Compatible lids are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNextWave's 4oz compostable single wall paper cups are selected by operators who require a small-format disposable cup for hot drinks and who want a packaging option that can be composted under industrial conditions.
