Product Information

decent packaging's Aqueous Range is made from responsibly sourced paper and lined with a unique water-based barrier coating. An advancement into new technology, this unique water-based barrier coating is certified home compostable to Australian standards (AS 5810).

Our aqueous range is made only using responsibly managed or recycled paper. All the ingredients are natural without any PE and PLA, and can be composted in nature.

Aqueous Lining

Our aqueous lining uses a water-based dispersion system of polymers and additives to create a barrier, making it a home compostable solution.
Home Compostable - AS 5810

This product has achieved the Home Compostable standard which demonstrates that it will break down fully in an ambient home compost environment.

What is the best end-of-life solutions for aqueous lined products?

As the name suggests, the aqueous coating used is water-based and breaks down without any specialist treatments required. These cups will also be certified home compostable, and will breakdown in a home compost under the correct conditions.

In the worst-case scenario of some of these cups being carelessly discarded, ending up as litter in a field or the sea, they break down at the same rate as a newspaper does.

Aqueous Lined Cups - A new waterproof barrier coating

Why are we offering aqueous lining as another option to PLA in NZ?

We are always pushing for the most sustainable solution to offer our customers and believe the water based lining is a step towards simplifying sustainability.

Can the aqueous lining be heated?

Yes, its perfect for hot beverages, and can be directly heated in a microwave oven.

Can we custom brand Aqueous Lined products?

Yes, compared with PE and PLA coated paper, the frictional force is larger. Aqueous paper cups are a little sticky and they are not as easy to separate, and also can not be printed with ordinary inks, which can cause colour fading. We’ve run samples of this product with excellent results.
