Good cup
Safe. No plastic. *
Bad cup
Not safe. 25.000 Microplastics. **
There are lots of reasons why Jungle Cup® is the good cup. First of all, it’s certified plastic free. That’s right. Second of all, it’s home-compostable in less than six months. Jungle Cups® have been certified to break down entirely into non-toxic components that will not harm the environment. Sounds great, right? But you’re worried about the price, we get it but get this: Jungle Cup® rivals the cost of most traditional bad cups! Look it up! And if that wasn’t enough reason to make the switch, every single cup you use saves 1m² of tropical rainforest! Who doesn’t like that?
* Our Jungle Cup is under review by the ILT.
Disposable coffee cups made with ‘bioplastics’ take over 1,500 years to naturally decompose and need specific industrial processing to be recycled. Traditional (non-bio) disposable coffee cups never decompose at all. If you think about it, that’s pretty bad. Why on earth would anybody still use a plastic-lined, non-compostable cup? They’re harmful to your health, release harmful micron-sized microplastic particles into your hot beverage and they kill sea life!
