Frequently Asked Questions
Why is KeepCup the best travel mug for sustainability and impact?
KeepCup is a business founded on impact, whether designing great products to replace single-use, removing single-use plastic from our supply chain, using recycled and recovered material or running our offices on solar power, we are in it for a better planet. We have been a B Corp since 2014, and donate 1% of our revenue to environmental protection. We are also a Living Wage employer. So from a brand point of view, KeepCup is a top choice.
From a product point of view, it depends on the use case. We have conducted Life Cycle Analysis to determine the number of times you need to use our products to best compare with single-use. The best reusable cup is the one you use.
What is breakeven?
Breakeven is the number of times you need to use a KeepCup to cover the environmental impact of the product lifespan compared to single-use cups. For our insulated Traveller range, that's about 66 uses. Our Brew Cork range has 24 uses and 20 uses for the Originals range*.

Which KeepCup product is the most sustainable?
We have conducted a Life Cycle Analysis to determine the breakeven of our reusable range. This considers the impact of manufacturing and washing a KeepCup over a four-year lifespan when compared to single-use cups.
KeepCup Original = 18 uses
KeepCup Brew Cork = 24 uses
KeepCup Thermal = 66 uses
These differences largely reflect the embodied energy in steel manufacture compared to plastic or glass. This is the bare minimum use of the product but underscores the environmental ‘cost per wear’. Having fewer things of higher quality and using them for as long as possible is the cornerstone of the circular economy and a great way to make good decisions about what to purchase.
Are KeepCup Reusable Cups made from recycled plastic?
Yes, it's part of our commitment to reducing carbon impact across our supply chain. Whether it’s being on the forefront of introducing industrial-scale recycled material like Tritan Renew quicksip lids and 90% recycled steel insulated cups, or local circular economy initiatives like our Recycled Cold Cups locally recovered and ground and made from our own QC and assembly waste.
Are replacement lids available for purchase?
Absolutely! We've got you covered with replacement lids and all other parts you might need. This allows you to replace only the parts you need – not the entire cup – supporting our commitment to sustainability and long-term use.
