By investing in a reusable ecoffee cup you could significantly reduce the single use waste you are responsible for.
single use coffee cups
Globally, every year, 500 billion single-use coffee cups are thrown away! In South Africa apparently, only about 11% of people actually recycle, so most of the single-use coffee cups will end up in a landfill. And for the cups that do get added to the recycling, only a handful will actually get recycled because there are only a few specialised recycling facilities that can process used coffee cups.
reusable ecoffee cups
Ecoffee cups are made with bamboo fibre and a matte food-grade silicone lid and sleeve. They are dishwasher safe and come in a variety of patterns, colours and sizes.
I have two Ecoffee cups, a black one and this 400ml limited edition Porthcurno, ocean-inspired design. Ecoffee donates 10% of every sale of the Porthcurno design, to Surfers Against Sewage, a marine conservation charity working with communities to protect oceans, waves, beaches and marine life.
Where to buy
Ecoffee Cups are for sale on the Ecoffee Cup South African website as well as on the Shop Zero, Faithful to Nature, Yuppichef and Superbalist online store.
