BioFlex 12oz Brown Ripple Coffee Cups
12oz ripple cups for latte and cappuccino service
12oz is the standard hot-drink cup size for UK coffee shops — latte, cappuccino, americano, mocha, hot chocolate. These 12oz ripple cups from the BioFlex eco-line pair standard-serve capacity with triple-wall ripple: brown kraft outer, insulating middle ripple, PLA-lined inner. Ripple insulation lets baristas hand a hot cup across the counter without a paper sleeve.
Full carton or single pack — both retail-ready
Two pack sizes. Full carton (500 cups) is the standing-order for coffee shops, cafés and mobile coffee operators — twenty inner packs of 25. Single retail pack (25 cups) suits event pop-ups, market stalls or sites trialling 12oz ripple cups from the BioFlex range.
PLA-lined — industrially compostable, not recyclable, not microwave-safe
The PLA lining makes the 12oz ripple cup hot-drink-safe, but disposal claims need to be precise. Industrially compostable to EN 13432 through commercial infrastructure. Not recyclable — PLA contaminates the paper stream. Not home-compostable — PLA needs industrial-composter temperature, not a garden heap. Not microwave-safe. Same lining as the 8oz sibling; disposal route matches across the range.

Frequently asked questions
Which drinks do the 12oz ripple cups suit?
Latte, cappuccino, americano, mocha and hot chocolate — the standard UK coffee-shop 12oz-serve formats. For espresso, cortado and flat white, size down to the 8oz ripple cup (see the sibling link above).
Do 12oz ripple cups need a paper sleeve?
No. The triple-wall ripple structure provides enough insulation on its own for take-away holding — the whole point of ripple over single-wall paper cups. Baristas can hand the cup over hot without stocking a separate sleeve SKU.
Are the 12oz ripple cups recyclable?
No. The PLA lining that makes the cup hot-drink-safe contaminates the paper-recycling stream, so 12oz ripple cups are excluded from mixed-paper recycling. The disposal route is industrial composting where infrastructure exists; general waste otherwise.
