Did you know that Australians use around 500 million disposable cups a year? Imagine all the harm that is doing to our environment. Though a lot of us may not necessarily be tree huggers, we are most definitely coffee drinkers, and one little act like using reusable coffee cups can make a positive change to our environment. If we think about the waste of using one single cup per coffee or tea, the idea of getting into the habit of bringing our own reusable takeaway cups seem like the obvious answer.
KeepCup is an Australian product manufactured and designed in Australia. The ethos of the company is to encourage people to be eco-friendly by targeting a daily habit like buying coffee. It is in these little acts that we are able to make a big difference. Even the packaging in which a KeepCup is delivered in is made out of 90% recycled paper.
KeepCups come in all colours and different sizes. They are designed to be customisable with silicon bands wrapped around each cup allowing users to mark, with a pen, the type of drink they have in their cups. Furthermore, you can even choose the colour of your cup, lid and band to suit your own personal preference. The option to build your own KeepCup can be found here. And in terms of size, KeepCups are available in small (8oz), medium (12oz) and large (16oz).
Luckily for you and much thanks to the lovely people at KeepCup, Trespass has six 8oz-sized KeepCups to giveaway (pictured above). But first, you’ll need to be living in Australia and a subscriber of our fortnightly newsletter, and if you’re not already, simply pop your email address here. Then email your name and postal address to lintan@trespassmag.com with ‘KeepCup Giveaway‘ as the subject header. I will then merrily put your name in the draw. The giveaway ends on the 2nd of April. Good luck!
I have one of these and they are fantastic!! I love my KeepCup
The product is good (tho don’t get a white one, even with careful washing immediately after, they stain so easily… so you end up having to use baking soda/similar…kinda undermining some of the impact reduction), the concept is good… the sales model… not so sure. Friend’s workplace wanted to offer to staff at “corporate rate”; KeepCup company only provide price for purchase of 50. As soon as went over 50, they apparently would not meet the corporate price. Bit confusing? Seems to go against encouraging uptake of good idea? Friend said that many people “switched off” making the investment, as were too many conditions attached to sale. Real shame. Suggested was maybe in green-efficiency of delivery? However given both the KeepCup company and my friend’s workplace are both in Melbourne – one would think that they could have picked up any quantity without impact on delivery… and encouraged as many sales as possible? Must be something not obvious to the common folk…..
