Design Your Own KeepCup

KeepCup designs products to stay in use. Not to be bought, admired and replaced, but to be washed, carried and reached for again tomorrow.

We commissioned an independent peer reviewed Life Cycle Analysis in 2018 to debunk the packaging industry’s claim that washing a reusable cup has a greater environmental impact than single use. It was the first study of its kind, and it found the opposite. Depending on material, a KeepCup beats 1,000 disposable cups in 24 to 66 uses.

• We started the category, not the trend: KeepCup created the barista-standard reusable cup in 2009 and holds the original patents. Sizes match café pour volumes, so a barista can fill without guesswork or waste.
• We design for reuse, not for replacement: Every part can be bought individually. A worn seal shouldn’t cost you a cup.
• We think the washing-up is the point: Loan schemes, return logistics and tracking systems exist to engineer away one small act — rinsing your own cup. Owning something and caring for it is not an inconvenience to be solved.
• We don’t think reuse needs a reward: Bringing your own cup is a decision you made for you. The good deed is its own reward.

Made by a certified B Corp that gives 1% of global revenue to environmental causes. A reusable cup only makes a difference when it becomes part of everyday life — and that is the whole design brief.
