Made from crystallised polylactic acid (CPLA), these lids are engineered to withstand hot beverage temperatures while offering a compostable alternative to conventional plastic lids for operators prioritising responsible disposal of their packaging waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sip-through design features a raised dome profile with a pre-formed sip hole, allowing customers to drink directly from the cup without a separate straw or cut-out step. This makes them a practical replacement for standard PS or PP lids in café, coffee shop, and catering environments where the lid format needs to perform consistently under normal hot drink service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCPLA is produced by crystallising PLA (polylactic acid) at elevated temperatures, which significantly increases its heat resistance compared to standard PLA. This makes CPLA suitable for hot beverages, where regular PLA would deform or soften. These lids are food contact compliant, BPA-free, and manufactured with no PFAS added, meeting standard UK foodservice compliance requirements. They are compostable under industrial composting conditions and should be directed to appropriate industrial composting facilities for end-of-life disposal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese CPLA lids are selected by operators who require a functional hot drink lid with industrial compostability credentials across their most commonly served cup sizes. The 12 - 16oz range covers the majority of standard café and coffee shop formats, making these lids a versatile single-format solution for mid-to-large hot drink servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTakeaway hot drinks at cafés and coffee shops where operators use 12oz or 16oz cups for lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos, and filter coffees served to go, and require a lid that performs at hot drink temperatures without softening or distorting under service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCompostable packaging programmes where operators are pairing CPLA lids with compostable PLA-lined cups as part of a coordinated approach to reducing conventional plastic packaging in their beverage service\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eQuick-service restaurants and coffee counters managing high-volume beverage output across 12oz and 16oz cup formats, where a consistent lid type across both sizes simplifies stock management and counter replenishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eHotel and corporate catering beverage stations where branded or sustainability-aligned packaging presentations are a priority and a clean white lid format fits the visual standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eContract and event catering operations where large-format hot drinks are distributed across a service period and packaging disposal routes need to be communicated to guests or managed through site composting arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDelivery and dark kitchen operations where 12oz and 16oz cups make up the bulk of hot drink output and the lid choice forms part of an overall sustainable packaging specification alongside compostable cups and bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NextWave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62823248953715,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6232\/4339\/files\/WhiteCPLASip-throughLids12_16oz_619632d9-2b7b-4486-981b-db867f016311.jpg?v=1778284935","url":"https:\/\/next-wave.uk\/products\/white-cpla-sip-through-lids-for-12-16-oz","provider":"Next Wave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
