View Product SpecificationsBarcelona has emerged as a spearhead for environmental mandate deployment within Spain. With the enforcement of Spain's Law 7/2022 on Waste and Contaminated Soils for a Circular Economy, local businesses face severe regulatory pressures regarding single-use plastics. Under Catalonia’s regional plans, the deployment of traditional polyethylene (PE) lined cups is being strictly curbed in favor of certified EN 13432 compostable alternatives.
For large-scale catering services, specialty coffee chains, and municipal food vendors operating in the metropolitan area, utilizing compostable coffee cups aligned with the European Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) ensures compliance. At Shandong PsiPrime Packaging Co., Ltd., we develop packaging specifically to address these rigid parameters, ensuring smooth customs clearances and maximum sustainability tax relief.
In Barcelona, the growth of third-wave specialty roasters across districts like Gràcia, El Raval, and Poblenou has sparked a demand for premium, custom-branded disposable cups. However, these brands cannot compromise on performance. The cups must handle temperature ranges exceeding 90°C without leakage or structural failure, all while matching the aesthetic standards of demanding European consumers.
Our plant-based PLA and innovative water-based barrier coatings prevent the cups from absorbing flavor, preserving the sensory profile of specialty single-origin coffees. By choosing high-barrier, bio-sourced raw materials, brands achieve a dual goal: superior beverage preservation and certified compliance with local organic recycling streams.
Understanding the science and certifications of sustainable packaging on a global scale.
Historically, disposable paper cups relied on a thin layer of polyethylene (PE) plastic to act as a liquid barrier. These cups are virtually impossible to recycle in standard paper mills, finding their way directly to landfills. Modern green logistics mandates a transition to compostable linings.
Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polybutylene Succinate (PBS) are bio-based polymers extracted from renewable resources like corn starch. They function identically to PE in preventing leaks but decompose into harmless organic matter under commercial composting environments.
Representing the cutting-edge of paper cup technology, water-based barrier coatings eliminate the need for distinct polymer films entirely. The coating is integrated during paper manufacturing, allowing the cup to be repulped alongside regular newsprint and cardboard.
We are committed to advancing sustainable packaging solutions and promoting the reduction of single-use plastics, helping foodservice and food-related industries transition toward more environmentally responsible operations.
Our team believes that biodegradable and compostable packaging materials represent the future of sustainable development. We actively promote the concept of "plastic alternatives" and work to raise awareness of eco-friendly packaging across global markets. With extensive industry experience and a highly reliable supply chain, we provide premium, sustainable packaging solutions to customers in Spain, Western Europe, and across the globe.
We specialize in the research, development, and manufacturing of food-grade packaging products. Our portfolio includes compostable food containers, paper-based food packaging, eco-friendly paper bags, food wrapping paper, and disposable catering supplies. These solutions are built to meet the rigorous demands of restaurant operators, takeaway platforms, and large-scale retail businesses.
By shifting to advanced manufacturing processes, our production facilities in China provide unparalleled quality control and cost efficiencies. Our Industry 4.0 automated plants utilize high-precision robotics, real-time optical scanning for defect detection, and intelligent material dosing systems. This technology ensures that every single batch of compostable cups satisfies international safety and sizing tolerances.
Additionally, our supply chain resilience ensures that raw material price fluctuations do not impact our B2B partners. Through long-term agreements with top-tier PLA and raw paper suppliers, we guarantee consistent production run times, providing reliable packaging pipelines even amid global logistics disruptions.

Yes. All of our compostable products destined for the Spanish and wider European markets conform to the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) and carry the mandatory packaging labeling. Furthermore, our cups are certified under the European standard EN 13432, verifying they degrade into organic components within municipal composting facilities, allowing you to minimize local non-reusable plastic taxes.
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a bio-plastic made from plant starch that requires industrial composting facilities to degrade. PBS (Polybutylene Succinate) offers higher thermal stability, making it excellent for boiling beverages. Water-based dispersion coatings are polymer-free solutions applied during the paper-making process, allowing the cup to be recycled directly within traditional paper bins (blue containers in Barcelona), bypassing composting separation.
Typically, shipping from our manufacturing facilities in China to the Port of Barcelona takes between 28 to 35 days. We manage all export documentation, bill of lading requirements, and customs preparation to ensure a smooth transition through Spanish customs, assisting you in obtaining the required bio-sourced exemptions.
Our standard MOQ for custom offset or flexographic printing with your branding is 50,000 units per size. We utilize soy-based food-grade inks to ensure the entire container remains compostable and safe for food contact.
Yes, we supply a complete range of matching components, including heat-resistant PLA lids, sugarcane bagasse lids, and insulating corrugated paper cup sleeves. All accessories are certified compostable to provide a unified eco-friendly experience.
