We're closed from Friday 18 December 2026 to Friday 8 January 2027, and production times don't count the closedown. See Christmas trading.
ACT RULES
The ACT's cup and lid rules
Researched 28 October 2026 and re-checked 6 November 2026.
Supply. The ACT bans expanded polystyrene (foam) takeaway food and drink containers, and single-use plastic cutlery, stirrers, plates and bowls, including plastic-lined paper and cardboard ones. Coffee cups and lids aren't on the list (ACT City Services, single-use plastics). We supply every lining and lid type in the ACT.
Bins. ACT City Services says disposable coffee cups and lids go in the landfill bin. Compostable cups must not go in the yellow-lid, garden or FOGO bin (ACT City Services, coffee cups). FOGO is still a pilot in Belconnen, Bruce, Cook and Macquarie, and a city-wide service is expected by 2030.
HOME COMPOST
Home composting in the ACT
The ACT is one of the few places with a plain official line on home composting cups: AS5810 cups can be home composted, and AS4736 cups can't. For businesses, the ACT suggests checking whether your commercial composting contractor accepts compostable products (ACT City Services, bioplastics).
If your customers or staff home compost, AS5810 home compostable cups are the ones to ask for. They have an aqueous lining and come with Simple Print and Wholesale Print, not Full Colour Print.
WHAT WE SUPPLY
Cups and lids for ACT orders
Coffee cups come in single wall from 4oz to 24oz and double wall in 8oz, 12oz and 16oz, from 250 per design.
- PE-lined cups: FSC certified paperboard with a PE lining. Our lowest price, in every size and print type.
- Compostable cups (AS4736): a PLA (plant-based) lining for commercial composting, in every print type. This is what you get when you order compostable.
- Home compostable cups (AS5810): an aqueous (water-based) lining, on request with Simple Print and Wholesale Print.
- Lids: PS (polystyrene) lids, pulp lids, or PLA lids certified to AS4736.
