What are the alternatives to disposable plastic cups?
The world’s fastest growing plant, bamboo can be used to make re-usable coffee cups.
They are a great alternative to disposable coffee cups. These cups are good for both hot and cold drinks. Use it for tea, coffee, water or juice.
They are heavier than a traditional paper cup but much lighter than a ceramic mug. A great alternative to disposable plastic cups!
Switch disposable coffee cups for reusables
We are calling for an end to the throwaway culture of coffee cups after the success of a plastic bag charge in the UK that shows a similar charge on coffee cups could work too in order to reduce the billions of tonnes of plastic thrown away each year.

Bamboo Coffee Cups?
Why bamboo? Bamboo is a wonderful material, as it’s naturally sterile. Bamboo actually neutralises bacteria left on the surface after 24 hours, which is perfect for use in food & drink products.
Bamboo is very sustainable – it can grow a metre a day, meaning that growers have a fast renewing source of materials. Minimal heat is used during the production process. Our cups are dishwasher safe.
