Question 3

How does Rippl work?

Accepted Answer

Rippl is a metal coffee tumbler and mobile application that together, incentivize the use of reusables in coffee shops. Once someone buys a Rippl, they can then download the mobile application, create a profile, and link their Rippl cup to their account. From there, the process is easy - simply use your reusable Rippl cup when purchasing coffee, photograph your cup while in the store, and you will be rewarded points that can get you discounted or free coffee at partnered locations.

Question 7

Where are the tumblers manufactured?

Accepted Answer

The Ripplfect tumblers are designed in Newburyport, MA and manufactured in China. It turns out, China is the main manufacturer for stainless steel products, and one of the only places to source stainless steel tumblers (we tried sourcing a US based manufacturer but there were none.) We landed on stainless steel because in addition to its temperature retaining qualities, it is one of the only materials that is 100% recyclable and never degrades over its lifecycles (in fact most stainless steel objects are made from 60% recycled content.) In addition, production of stainless steel has very minimal CO2 emissions.    In an effort to minimize any carbon footprint, all Rippl tumblers are transported via sea freight instead of air freight, since it is the most sustainable shipping method.
