bagasse cups india
Bagasse cups & glasses — dip cups to tumblers.

- 100% sugarcane bagasse
- Compostable
- Microwave-safe
- Oil & water resistant
- Made in India
Cups & Glasses is the small-volume liquid category — sizes from a 30 ml dip cup to a 250 ml tumbler. The dip cups (1 oz, 2 oz) are the chaat-stall, samosa-counter, and cloud-kitchen condiment workhorses. The 100 ml ice-cream cup and 110 ml round cup cover dessert and small snacks. The 55 ml shot-glass-style cup and 250 ml tumbler are for tasting menus, juice service, and casual water glasses.
For hot beverages (chai, coffee) we recommend pairing with a bagasse cup lid from our Lids & Accessories category — the lid is what determines hot-liquid retention, not the cup. All cups are made by manufacturers with FDA food-contact compliance — no plastic lining, no wax, and PFAS-free per our manufacturers' test reports.
Lid compatibility is documented on each PDP via the compatible_lids cross-sell. Common pairs: 8 oz glass + 80 mm dome or flat lid; 4 oz cup + paper 4-oz lid; 1/2 oz dip cup + 63 mm bagasse lid.
Made by manufacturing partners certified for FDA food-contact compliance, BPI, EN 13432 and ISO 22000; PFAS-free per manufacturer test reports. HSN 4823 at 18% GST.
Bagasse cup vs disposable plastic vs PE-coated paper
| Dimension | Disposable plastic | PE-coated paper | Bagasse (PulpyWare) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Petroleum-derived virgin polymer | Virgin paper + polyethylene plastic liner | Sugarcane juice residue — agri-waste, no virgin pulp |
| Compostability | Never composts — 450+ years to break down | Paper rots, PE liner persists as microplastic | ~90 days in commercial composting; longer at home |
| PFAS / forever-chemicals | None added (uses plastic itself) | Many brands use PFAS for oil/grease repellency | PFAS-free per our manufacturers' test reports |
| Microwave safety | Most plastic deforms above 80 °C | PE liner can leach plasticisers when heated | Tested at 700–1000 W for 3 minutes — fibre stays inert |
| Oil & sauce hold | Excellent (it IS plastic) | Excellent — but at the cost of the lining | Excellent for 1 hour — natural fibre absorbs no oil |
| End-of-life | Landfill or ocean — non-degradable | Not recyclable (lined paper isn't accepted in most MRFs) | Backyard compost, municipal organics, or biogas |

Frequently asked questions
Are these cups suitable for hot beverages like tea and coffee?
Yes — the fibre handles 90 °C+ for the duration of a single beverage. For takeaway, pair with the matching bagasse cup lid; the lid determines spill behaviour, not the cup. The 8 oz tumbler is the canonical hot-beverage SKU.
Do bagasse cups leak with cold drinks like buttermilk or lassi?
No — the bagasse is naturally water-resistant for several hours of cold-liquid contact. No condensation seepage. For takeaway, the dome lid keeps the liquid in transit.
Which lid fits which cup?
The 8 oz glass pairs with the 80 mm dome lid (for hot drinks with foam) or 80 mm flat lid (for cold). The 4 oz cup pairs with the paper 4-oz lid. The 1 oz / 2 oz dip cups share the 63 mm bagasse lid. Each cup PDP lists compatible lids inline.
Are these microwave-safe?
Yes for short reheats (1-2 minutes at 700 W) — but most beverages don't need microwaving. The cup is rated as food-contact safe across the typical hot-cold beverage range.
