ACPP / Cups
A commercially compostable cup for your café, restaurant or campus — without the soft rims and seam leaks that turn a coffee into a refund.
PLA lined · BPI Certified
Your cup is a brand decision
Nobody photographs a certificate. They photograph the cup — which makes it both your cheapest piece of media and your fastest way to lose an account.
Cost: repeat customers
A cup that goes soft at the rim or weeps at the seam becomes a remake, a refund and a one-star review — about your coffee, not about the cup. Run a case through a full shift before you commit to anyone, including us.
Cost: your margin
Single-use plastic rules keep tightening city by city. Switching on a compliance deadline always costs more than switching on your own schedule, because you lose the ability to negotiate.
ACPP lowers the risk the honest way: PLA-lined instead of polyethylene, certified against ASTM standards, durable hot and cold — and we tell you exactly which sentences you can safely print on your own packaging.
How it’s built
The lining is the whole argument. A paper cup with a polyethylene film inside it is still a plastic cup — it just looks like paper from the outside.
PLA, not PE
The moisture barrier is PLA — a polymer derived from plants and certified to break down with the cup in a commercial composting facility, instead of a polyethylene film that survives the fibre and stays behind as microplastic.
Hot + cold
Double-seamed and firm from the first sip to the last, hot or cold. No soggy rim, no seam seepage. The cup has to survive the walk home before any of the rest of this matters.
BPI Certified
Certified against ASTM D6400 / D6868, tested to under 100 ppm total fluorine, and listed publicly under American Choice Paper Products — so any buyer can check it without asking us.
Specification
Every ACPP cup shares a 3.54" (9 cm) rim, so a single lid covers your entire line. One SKU to reorder, one shelf to stock, nothing to mismatch during a rush.
