Plastic coffee cups are cheap and convenient but once they’ve been thrown away, it could take up to 1000 years for them to fully degrade. Here at Single Use Alternatives it is our aim to provide catering businesses and individuals with a wide range of practical and cost-effective products, designed to offer a viable and sustainable alternative.

From disposable coffee cups and coffee sleeves, through to food packaging supplies, cups and lids, we supply everything you need to run your catering business whilst protecting your profits and the environment.

Protect the planet and your pocket

We understand that you and your customers want to do your bit for the planet by reducing your reliance upon single use plastics. However, because cost-effective alternatives are difficult to source, finding a viable alternative is difficult.

Our range of products is designed to fill the gap between single use plastics and recyclables, offering everything you need in one convenient place. Ordering from us is easy with low cost delivery options, including next day delivery and no minimum order value, enabling you to order what you need, whether that’s 100s and not 1000s.

The products we sell are made without plastics and are ideal for use in cafes, coffee shops, takeaways, delis, catering businesses or at home. From compostable cups for hot drinks and eco friendly cup carriers, through to double wall paper cups made from biodegradable paper, Single Use Alternatives provides a wide range of environmentally friendly catering supplies.

Simple recycling

Unfortunately, due to regional variations in how UK local authorities process waste, finding effective recycling solutions can be a complicated and confusing process. It is our aim to make disposing of our products as easy as possible, with products available in two recycling types: compostable and biodegradable.

Our compostable products are designed to break down in under 90 days when processed in an industrial composter (as used by your local council), but this process will take longer in a home composter, depending on the method used and conditions.

All materials are, in theory, biodegradable. However, when disposed of in landfill, plastic can take up to 1000 years to fully biodegrade. The biodegradable products we sell take considerably less time than this when disposed of in an industrial scale composter. Please note that not all local authorities have the capability to do this so you’ll need to check the situation in your area.

All the products we supply are clearly labelled and categorised to make it as easy as possible to choose the best ones to suit you and local recycling.
