Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cups suitable for takeaway hot drinks?

Yes. They are designed specifically for hot beverages and work best when paired with compatible 16oz sip-thru lids.

Do I need sleeves with ripple cups?

No. The ripple-wall construction provides built-in insulation, so additional sleeves are not required.

Are these black ripple cups recyclable?

They are suitable for specialist paper cup recycling schemes and some commercial collections. Recycling availability depends on your local waste provider.

Can I use these cups for cold drinks?

Yes, although they are optimised for hot drinks. Paper cups do not prevent external condensation like plastic cups.
