Why It's Good - Re-use always trumps recycle
In 2008 Starbucks alone purchase 2.7 billion paper cups. All of these took energy and natural resources to produce, and ended up in landfills. Starbucks has a goodish record of moving to post-consumer recycled materials in their cups, and hope to be 100% recyclable by 2015. However even if they reach this goal the energy use in production and landfill will still be wasted, and other coffee companies are even less responsible. With a ceramic cup you can eliminate this waste and enjoy your cup of Joe with a clean conscience.
How to recycle
The Eco Coffee Cup is made from high performance ceramic which should last for decades. Accidents can happen though, and should your Eco Coffee Cup break then you won't be able to recycle it at your municipal recycling center. However you can reuse the ceramic pieces as drainage in a planter, or in a decorative mosaic. For more tips see:
