The worst part of it is that 99.75% of coffee cups are not recycled,

so around 60,000kg of coffee cups go to landfill or even worse—into our oceans.
These are real issues hurting our beautiful country and planet.

Hey You have recently joined the Green Movement, and our whole team is super passionate about how we can help become a part of the solution because, in truth, we’ve been ironically a part of the problem as Australia’s #1 order-ahead app.

We all know that using reusable cups is the way to go. We know breaking habits
is not easy, but we are slowly making the permanent change to becoming more
eco-friendly. Here are some products that are helping us do that.

1. Keep Cups

You’ve probably heard of this option before, but if you haven’t, it’s simply a reusable cup for your coffee that comes in many different materials, shapes, and sizes. Leave a note when you place an order through the app and hand your Keep Cup to your barista.

According to KeepCup, using one of its plastic (LDPe) recyclable KeepCups for a year instead of disposable paper coffee cups will lead to a:

36–47% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
64–85% reduction in water use
91–92% reduction in landfill.

Life hack: some venues will keep multiple cups for you, so that way they don’t have to wait for you to arrive to make your coffee.

2. Lydy

What’s a Lydy you ask? It's a reusable lid that you can pop on top of your coffee cups. This really works well with the Hey You app as you can choose no lids as an option and once you arrive, you can pop on your Lydy.

3. Sol Cups

Sol cups have developed a 100% borosilicate glass reusable product that is not only sustainable, but also stylish. Not limited to just cups only, they also have bottles, lids, accessories and even homewares!

We hope these options can help you decide the best solution for you and that we’ve been able to pass on some information of value. We’re fully committed to trying to create better systems for our customers and partners so in the future, ordering ahead while using reusables would be a seamless transition.
