Care Cups Australia

Care Cups Australia has been brewing for almost 10 years (circa 2011), with the key motivation to support not-for-profit organisations continually with maximum effect and without damaging the environment any further. Plastic lined disposable coffee cups are consumed in crazy volumes with no real successful plan to continually divert from landfill and use the waste as raw material to continue its life as another product. Sure, there are "biodegradable", "compostable" and "eco-friendly" products available but if you add a little more time to your research, you'll uncover most of these products exist within a lineal economy and haven't evolved to successfully recover, process and truly recycle the materials into other products. Care Cups are manufactured by an industry partner where they are made in Australia using sustainably sourced paper. They are printed with water-based ink and lined with a water based enzyme that provides a water proof layer to the inside of the cups. There are also no glues used to assemble the cups as they are crimped together. Care Cups Australia are a Plan B alternative to reusable cups and strongly support the importance to reduce, reuse and recycle. Care Cups not only support major NFP organisations but also have environmental benefits, meaning that Care Cups should be placed in the paper recycling bins. The next time you're hunting for a caffeine hit, seek out a "Care Cup Cafe" which will mean you are selecting packaging that can be diverted from landfill and more importantly, it will mean you have just contributed to changing the life of a stranger or someone you know who relies on the services of the following organisations who receive 50% of the Care Cup profits; Beyond Blue - National Breast Cancer Foundation - NextSense - The Lighthouse Foundation - Alannah & Madeline Foundation.
