Vegware’s sip-through lid is made of high-heat cornstarch – the same low carbon bioplastic used to line the cups, but strengthened for hot use up to 85°C.
Vegware’s original 8oz and 12oz compostable cup lids were market firsts in 2009, winning the Caterer and Hotelkeeper Excellence Awards.
Vegware founder Joe Frankel said, “We’ve created the 6oz cup and lid because we can see the demand coming. Coffees are getting smaller and more intense, with baristas inspired by stronger continental coffees and the antipodean love for the flat white. As ever, other packaging companies will follow suit once they see the demand, but we see it as our role to lead the market.”
