Drinking Cups & Straws FAQ’s

All you need to know about our drinking cup and straw options from the cup sizes available to the materials used.

There’s a wide range of drinking cups available within our collection here at My Packaging. We have coffee cups with ribbed ‘ripple’ effect designs and double walled options with a smooth design. Plastic cups in various sizes that are perfect for bubble tea, milkshakes and refreshing juice drinks and compostable, plant based plastic cups that provide a fantastic eco-friendly option for your business. 

Our drinking cups are available in a variety of materials and as such, are suitable for a variety of uses. We have recyclable and biodegradable plant based plastic cups in various sizes to choose from. Then there’s our collection of kraft, black and white paper cups that are suitable for hot drinks such as coffee, tea and yummy hot chocolate.  

Our drinking cups are available in a variety of sizes so you can serve your customers small, medium and large drinks. Our cup sizes range from 8oz options to large 22oz cups that are perfect for milkshakes and bubble tea concoctions. 

All our drinking straws are either recyclable or biodegradable, making them a brilliant eco-friendly choice. We have recyclable plastic straws in either clear or multi-coloured multipacks and biodegradable paper straws in striped or multi-coloured multipacks. Plus we also stock bubble tea straws that are made from tea fibre.  

Yes, paper cups are safe for hot drinks, as long as they’ve been designed for this purpose. We offer recyclable and biodegradable paper cups, reducing the possibility of any microplastics in your drinks and when it comes to heat transfer, you can also opt for our double walled recyclable paper cups to further reduce the heat your customers may feel whilst holding the cup. 

There is some discussion that hot drinks can react with the plastic in cups, releasing microplastics that you then ingest. On top of that, there is a concern that some plastic cups may warp when exposed to hot temperatures, thus rendering them unsuitable too. These statements are both unfortunately true. However the risk of microplastics and chemicals to you is greatly reduced by choosing a plastic cup that’s made from a material such as polypropylene, which has a much higher melting point than other plastics. 

Here at My Packaging we have plenty of polypropylene plastic cups to choose from in our range, but if you’re unsure, simply give us a call on 0113 3061 508 or email us at info@mypackaging.co.uk

Alternatively, our paper cups are designed specifically for hot drinks and may be more suitable if your business provides hot drinks to your customers. 

Plastic cups are recyclable as long as they’re made out of recyclable plastic such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polypropylene (PP). The majority of the plastic cups in our range are either recyclable or biodegradable, so you can be sure that you’re purchasing an eco friendly drinking cup.
