Why should you buy reusable cups?

Maybe you use paper or plastic cups every day and wonder if there are better alternatives. "Why should I buy reusable cups?" In this blog, we explain what reusable cups are and why they are worthwhile.

What are reusable cups?

As the name suggests, reusable cups are not disposable cups. They do have the same advantages: they are cheap, lightweight and practical. At Riké, reusable cups are made of polypropylene, which makes them sturdy and durable. Note: reusable cups are slightly different from plastic glasses, which we also sell. Read more about that in the blog on plastic glasses.

At Riké, we have two types of reusable cups: hot drink cups and festival cups. Here we highlight both of them:

 

Hot drink cups

As the name suggests, these cups are ideal for hot drinks such as coffee, tea or chocolate milk. Of course, you can also drink cold drinks from them, but their main feature is that they are heat-resistant.

We have hot drink cups in six sizes: 50, 80, 100, 200, 300 and 400 ml. The smallest sizes (50 and 80 ml) come in four colours, while the larger variants (100-400 ml) are available in no less than 15 colours. Ideal for any occasion!

In terms of price, these reusable cups are super attractive: you can get them from as little as €0.50 each. Moreover, you can have them engraved, which creates a luxurious look and is a great way to promote your company or organisation.

 

Festival mugs

Festival cups are the perfect replacement for disposable cups at events. Those floppy plastic cups, which are often only used once and then immediately end up in the bin, are not exactly environmentally friendly. Put an end to that with our sturdy reusable festival cups.

These cups can take a beating and are available in three sizes: 25, 30 and 50 cl. Ideal for beer, soft drinks, wine - whatever you want. By making them reusable, you not only save costs in the long run, but also contribute to a more sustainable world.

 

Disposable cups vs. reusable cups

Every year, billions of disposable cups are produced and thrown away worldwide. These cups hardly break down, leading to huge mountains of waste and damage to the environment. By switching to reusable cups, you are making a difference.

Imagine: you get coffee-to-go every day. Within a few months, a reusable cup is already cheaper than using a disposable cup every day. Do you use the cup for a year or more? Then you not only save money, but also help reduce waste.

Maintenance is simple: most reusable cups can go in the dishwasher, but they are also easy to wash by hand. Check them from time to time for cracks or wear and tear to make sure they stay safe.

In short: reusable cups are good for your wallet as well as the environment. A smart and sustainable choice!
