BioFlex 8oz Brown Ripple Coffee Cups
The 8oz ripple cup for espresso and flat-white service
8oz is the small-serve ripple-cup size — for espresso, cortado, macchiato and the classic 6oz-in-an-8oz flat white. Brown kraft outer, triple-wall ripple structure providing insulation without needing a paper sleeve. Sits inside the BioFlex eco-line as the small format alongside the 12oz sibling for latte and cappuccino service.
Full carton or single pack — both retail-ready
Two pack sizes. Full carton (500 cups) is the standing-order for coffee shops, cafés and dark-kitchen espresso bars — twenty inner packs of 25. Single retail pack (25 cups) suits event pop-ups, market stalls or sites trialling the BioFlex line.
PLA-lined — industrially compostable, not recyclable, not microwave-safe
The PLA (plant-based bioplastic) lining makes the ripple 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 and disqualifies the cup from mixed-paper collection. Not home-compostable — PLA needs sustained industrial-composter temperature. Not microwave-safe — remove drink before reheating.

Frequently asked questions
Which drinks does the 8oz ripple suit?
Espresso, cortado, macchiato and flat white — the small-serve hot-coffee formats. For latte, cappuccino and americano, size up to the 12oz ripple cup (see the sibling link above).
Is the 8oz ripple cup recyclable?
No. The PLA lining that makes the cup hot-drink-safe contaminates the paper-recycling stream, so ripple cups are excluded from mixed-paper recycling. Disposal route is industrial composting where infrastructure exists; general waste otherwise.
