What is PE Coated (Polyethylene)？
PE-coated materials are widely used in disposable cups and food packaging because of their superior moisture resistance. However, as a petroleum-based plastic, PE is non-biodegradable and contributes to environmental pollution, making it less ideal in today’s environmentally conscious market. The recycling process for PE-coated products is also challenging, which has driven the demand for more sustainable alternatives. Pakio offers PE-coated materials that are food-grade, ensuring that our cups are made with the highest safety standards, providing you with peace of mind with every sip.
What is PLA Coated (Polylactic Acid)？
PLA is a biodegradable coating derived from renewable resources like corn starch, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional PE coatings. Unlike PE, PLA decomposes in industrial composting facilities, making it ideal for compostable food packaging. However, it requires specific conditions to break down and is not usually recyclable in standard paper streams.
Pakio's PLA-coated Single Wall and Double Wall Coffee Cups meet the rigorous standards of industrial compostability as per the Australian Standard AS4736. This certification ensures that the cups can be effectively composted in industrial facilities, meeting criteria for biodegradability, disintegration, and the absence of harmful substances. The PLA coating not only keeps your coffee hot and your hands cool but also ensures that these cups are a genuinely eco-friendly choice.
What is CPLA Coated (Crystallized Polylactic Acid)？
CPLA is an enhanced version of PLA, designed to withstand higher temperatures, making it ideal for hot food packaging and cutlery. It retains the biodegradability of PLA while offering improved durability, especially in applications that require heat resistance.
Pakio’s CPLA coffee cup lids are the perfect eco-friendly addition to your hot beverages.

What is Water-Based (Aqueous) Coating？
