The difference we each make to the world can be profound. We’ve partnered with sustainability consultancy, Edge Environment, to help you quantify the impact of choosing reuse over single-use.
Simply enter your average coffee consumption below to find out how many cups you can divert from landfill with KeepCup.
Methodology
Data for the calculator is from our third party peer reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) by Edge Environment. The LCA has been conducted to international standard (ISO 14040:2006) and is publicly available. The calculator compares using a KeepCup to using a single-use cup. An average single-use 12oz cup contains 9g of paper and 3.3g of plastic, including its polyethylene lining and polystyrene lid.
"What makes you feel better quickly is actually to engage in a positive contribution so that you bust through this myth that individual actions don’t count. You begin to realize the world is only made out of individual actions. It does count. It does add up.”
