When it comes to eco-friendly hot cups, ripple wall and double wall are both popular choices—but which one is better for the planet?
Material Efficiency: Ripple wall cups often use less material overall by combining insulation and grip in a single outer layer. Double wall cups, while effective, may require more paperboard to achieve the same heat resistance.
Sleeve-Free Simplicity: Both eliminate the need for sleeves, but ripple wall cups often provide better grip and airflow, reducing the need for additional packaging even further.
Final Verdict: Ripple wall cups may edge out slightly in sustainability—but your choice should also depend on what lining is used (PLA vs PE) and your local waste management system.
