THE
THROWAWAY CULTURE
It’s estimated that 50 billion coffee cups are thrown away in the USA every year & take up to 1000 years to decompose

THE
PAPER CUP
Even paper cups are not recyclable because of the plastic lining inside the cup

THE
LACK OF AWARENESS
Over 30% of people don’t realize that you can bring your own cup to most coffee stores

THE
SAVINGS
Cafes save money on purchasing cups, the city saves money on taxpayers dollars spent to collect waste, and YOU save money

THE
RECYCLING
MYTH
Only 1 in 400 coffee cups actually end up recycled even if put in the recycling bin

THE
FAILING ALTERNATIVES
Plant-based “compostable” plastic alternatives are not working (hint: they are only compostable in perfect conditions)

THE
MATERIALS
Stainless steel is one of the only material that is 100% recyclable and never degrades over its lifecycle

THE
SOLUTION
Through the Ripplfect tumbler and mobile app we can disrupt the throwaway culture
