How Long Does It Take for a Disposable Coffee Cup to Decompose?

Let’s Talk Sustainability and Smarter Choices for Your Brand.

In the rush of our daily grind, grabbing a cup of coffee is second nature. But have you ever paused to think about what happens to that disposable coffee cup once you've downed the last sip? Most of us haven’t—and that’s the problem.

On average, a disposable coffee cup takes about 20 to 30 years to decompose. Shocking, right? These cups may seem harmless because they look like simple paper, but they’re actually lined with plastic polyethylene to make them waterproof. This hidden plastic layer makes the cups tough to break down, clogging landfills and adding to the planet’s growing plastic pollution problem.

As a proudly Filipino company that values both quality craftsmanship and sustainability, we at CraftClothing believe in better choices. If you’re looking to make a difference while promoting your brand, promotional coffee cups & mugs are your best bet. Not only do they reduce waste, but they also leave a lasting impression on your customers, every time they enjoy their brew.
