Most disposable coffee cups and clear cold drink are an environmental nightmare. They look like innocent paper or plastic, but they are heavily lined with petroleum - what we call Dead Dino's because they are made from ancient, fossilized crude oil. When your customers finish their flat whites or iced lattes, those petrol based cups sit in landfills for 500 years, slowly breaking down into toxic micro plastics.
At The Pure Option, we believe your drinks should taste like your drink and not like a chemistry lab.
Welcome to our ultimate Drink Packaging hub.
Every single item across our collections, from our vibrant double-wall coffee cups to crystal-clear smoothie glasses, plant-based straws, and recycled carriers is completely plastic-free, certified compostable, and guaranteed 100% Dead Dino Free.
Why Our Drink Packaging Ecosystem Rules the Barista Bar:
-
Our simplified Lid System: We have completely eliminated the headache of buying the wrong lids. Every cup and accessory in our range starts with a letter "N" and a size number. If you buy an N79 cup, it will flawlessly fit any N79 lid. Buy an N89 cup? Pair it with an N89 lid. It’s a completely foolproof match every single time and we have even created a simple guide that helps you to find the right lid ever time - Cold Cup Lid Explained and Hot Cup Lid Explained.
-
Flawless Crystal-Clear Cold Cup Ranges: Our clear cold cups and matching lids look, feel, and perform exactly like plastic, giving your iced coffees, milkshakes, and fresh juices maximum visual appeal on the counter. But because they are made from fermented corn starch PLA, they are completely plant-based.
-
Premium Hot Cup Insulation: Crafted from sustainable, thick paperboard and lined with high-performance plant polymers, our hot cups trap heat beautifully to keep drinks steaming hot, while staying comfortably cool on the outside for your customers' hands and because of their plant based materials , they can even be recycled in hundreds of locations, find out more here.
-
True Circular Disposal: Unlike standard cups that jam up traditional recycling networks due to grease or plastic linings, our entire drink range can be thrown straight into organic food waste streams. They decompose completely into clean, nutrient-rich soil biomass in under 12 weeks.
-
Toxin-Free and PFAS-Free: Ditch the synthetic chemicals. Our plant-powered straws, lids, and sleeves ensure a completely clean, unadulterated taste experience with every single sip.
Keep your pours perfect and your footprint zero. Filter by our sub-categories to find clear cold cups, insulated hot cups, or accessories, and grab our warehouse-move clearance bargains today!
