Cupstock paper is a type of paperboard designed for holding liquids. It is often used for coffee cups, soup bowls, and ice cream containers. Cupstock paper bowls are usually lined with plastic or bioplastic (PLA), which can be compostable under the right conditions.

Standard paper bowls are typically coated to make them moisture-resistant, allowing them to hold hot or wet foods like soup or chili. However, the lining used for moisture resistance often contains plastic, which can make these bowls non-compostable. While the paper itself is biodegradable, the plastic lining complicates recycling and composting. Pros: Inexpensive and widely available Lightweight Customizable with printing for branding purposes Cons: Plastic coating makes them non-compostable Limited durability under heat or moisture if the lining is thin
