Single-use cups are rarely recycled. Compostable cups use more energy over their lifecycle than reusable cups (stainless steel, ceramics, or glass), and by the way, they aren’t accepted at composting facilities. Disposable coffee cups have a polyethylene layer that degrades when hot liquids are in the cups, meaning microplastics can get into your drink.
Our network has brought together a unique group of cafes through the borrowing and returning of OKAPI cups. Our consumers are committed to continuously choosing more sustainable options. We are proud to work with cafe staff as well as consumers to adopt reuse solutions.
