Recyclable via Simply Cups

Paper cups can be recycled with Simply Cups, New Zealand’s only paper cup recycling program.

We strongly encourage recycling of the paper cup instead of composting, as recycling is the preferred method according to the waste hierarchy. See more about the waste hierarchy here.

Home compostable coffee cups

Our certified home compostable paper cups can be composted at home in a traditional home compost, or in a worm farm. See how our paper cups composted in a worm farm below.

Biodegradable refers to a product's ability to breakdown over time, it doesn't specify over how long - this could be a day or 100 years. Compostable refers to a product's ability to breakdown in specific time frames under specific conditions (i.e. home or industrial/commercial). Choosing certified compostable items are a more sustainable option as it proves that the product has been tested to breakdown.
