How many disposable coffee cups are used in New Zealand and Australia each year? A total of 1.3 billion!
How long are they used for? 13 minutes on average, and then they are dumped in a landfill and take thousands of years to break down.
This Is Insane!
So if you agree, let’s talk about how we can help you to make a change to those stats: Reusable coffee cups.
They are a great option for consumers who care about our planet. They provide excellent brand exposure as well as reducing landfill.
The cups come in options of single and double wall, with the latter keeping hot fluids hot for hours longer and cold fluids cold for hours longer.
Reusable Coffee Cups come made principally in six different materials of eco-friendly wheat fibre, borosilicate glass, glass, ceramic, stainless steel, and polypropylene.
Rice Fibre Cups – Rice husk is a waste product with little value, and the agricultural industry often disposes of it by burning, which creates air pollution. Blended 50/50 with BPA-free polypropylene, this uses less polypropylene in its manufacture, so it is good for the planet and produces a trendy natural-looking coffee cup that is unbreakable. Other features include a secure screw-on lid and a heat-resistant silicone band. The band can be mixed and matched in any colour combination from the standard.
Typically 100 units of these cups printed with a one colour print cost $4.96 + GST each, and 50 units of the double-walled versions cost $8.72 + GST each.
Borosilicate Glass Cups – are lightweight, exceptionally strong, shatter-resistant, and take temperatures up to 170 degrees. Borosilicate is a natural BPA-free choice for a clean, pure taste and offers an eco-friendly alternative to single-use paper cups. The lids and bands on the cups can be mixed and matched in any colour combination from the standard colours at no extra cost. The silicone bands around the girth are extra wide for easy handling and a large branding area.
