Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our sustainable packaging line.

Are your compostable cups really compostable in home compost bins? +
Many of our products are certified for commercial composting facilities. Some select items, like our bagasse containers and certain PLA products, are also suitable for home composting. We clearly label each product with its specific composting requirements so you always know where it belongs.
Do eco-friendly cups hold heat as well as regular cups? +
Absolutely. Our double-wall bagasse and FSC paper cups with water-based coatings retain heat just as effectively as traditional plastic-lined cups. In independent testing, they kept beverages hot for 45+ minutes — the industry standard for hot drink packaging.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom-branded eco products? +
For standard white-label sustainable products, there is no minimum order. For custom-printed items with your logo, our MOQ starts at 5,000 units per SKU. We offer tiered pricing, so larger orders receive significantly better per-unit rates.
Can I mix sustainable and conventional products in the same order? +
Yes! Many of our clients transition gradually. You can order both our sustainable line and conventional products in the same shipment. We'll consolidate everything to save on shipping and provide one unified invoice.
How much more do sustainable products cost compared to conventional ones? +
The price difference has narrowed significantly. On average, our sustainable products cost 10–25% more per unit than conventional alternatives. However, many businesses find that the positive brand perception and customer loyalty more than offset the small price increase. We also offer volume discounts to help bridge the gap.
Do you provide documentation for sustainability reporting? +
Yes. We provide detailed sustainability data sheets for every product, including carbon footprint estimates, biodegradability timelines, and full certification documentation. This makes it easy for you to include our products in your own ESG or sustainability reports.
