  Repurposes waste material (coffee husk)

  Why not just compost the coffee husk and avoid all the environmental damage done by manufacturing these?

  Why use coffee husks?
  – It’s a great way to recycle these fluffy remnants of coffee roasting
  – 100% natural composting agent
  – Replaces stuff like wood chips which means less trees have to be cut down
  – Smells like coffee!!!
  – Composts quickly
  – Rich in nitrogen
  – Great for growing vegetables, especially tomatoes
  – Absorbs moisture in compost mixture, creating rich soil

    Not the mention the amount of energy to make these. There's also another company that turns coffee grinds into cafe cups.

    However its better than using fossil fuels to make plastic reusable cups or worse single use cups.

      These can last for years. That's literally 1,000s of single use cups saved from landfill.

        you need to wash them – spend water, energy, detergent, time. In a couple of month you may find that your cup looks a bit filthy and decide to buy a new one.. It is like with electric cars - you still use fossil fuels, removing them from your car but adding to power plants.
        I usually just take my work mug..

            @smartazz104: I wash it, but I don't bother with buying a new fancy one. And don't try to persuade myself that I'm saving this world.

              @Cupa Bundy Drinker: So you still "spend water, energy, detergent, time". Does your work mug have a lid or is it literally a mug you took from the kitchen cupboard?

                @smartazz104: From kitchen cupboard. I drink cappuccino, don't like it with a lid anyway.

                @smartazz104: My point is not much about spending water, energy, detergent, time.. It is more about, everything comes at cost.. You use a paper disposable cup – it goes to landfill, has some impact. You use a reusable cup, it has impact too - harder to produce, maintenance. Not necessarily a reusable cup is better.
                When I use my work mug from cupboard, I don't increase the number of cups at least.

  The don't mention all the plastic they're made of. It's not just husk..

  Any reusable cup is better than a takeaway cup, but I can't help but agree with jv (for once) - plenty of better materials to make a reusable cup out of than composite coffee husk.

    Perhaps, but novel ideas like this are part of ongoing innovation. If we all just agreed that we know the best of everything then nothing would ever change. Products like these may not pass the test of time but are a part of thinking about new ways of doing things.

      I like this way of thinking. So long as the gross environmental impact isn't negative even a marginally small improvement per person can make a big difference. I know for me it has taken many many disposable cups out of landfill, and that effect is multiplied over many people. That, and these cups also support an Australian business.

  Coffee husks + what?
  "BPA free" suggests its a plastic composite

  • 

    bargainpersona on 01/10/2019 - 15:31

    Some people like hearing things are BPA free even though there is no chance of it being present. Although in this case a quick google tells me it is a "eco-composite polymer" with the primary polymer being polypropylene.
