Take advantage of a trending market and add the best reusable coffee cup to your promotional materials. Be the first thing millions of coffee drinkers see each day.
Keep cups are more than a trending promotional product, though. They’re part of a worldwide sustainable movement towards reducing plastic waste. And 90% of Australian consumers are ready to get on board.
Over 1 billion coffee cups are thrown out every year! That translates into a huge opportunity to use reusable coffee cups instead. Not only can you be part of the movement, but you also have the potential to benefit from a growing market opportunity.
What Is The Best Reusable Coffee Cup
Reusable coffee cups, also known as keep cups or travel mugs, are a cup you can keep and reuse.
Coffee cup waste is an increasingly growing problem, and the coffee industry is looking for ways to curb waste. Unfortunately, single-use cups are Australia’s second largest waste product after plastic bottles.
Keep cups are a popular solution that makes for a popular eco-friendly promotional product choice.
Reusable coffee cups are available in multiple sizes, colours and designs and can be personalised with business logos and brand messages.
What Is The Marketing Value For Reusable Coffee Cups?
Australians drink a lot of coffee. According to coffee affection, more than a quarter of the 25.74 million people that make up Australia’s population say they can’t go a day without coffee. Should coffee remain popular – we think it’s unlikely all those Aussies will quit their morning coffee routine – the global reusable coffee cup market value is estimated to reach 24.85 billion USD by 2031. That’s a massive market opportunity!
Join The Trend For Environmentally Friendly Products
Reusable home, health, and kitchen products are always at the top of the list of the latest trends in environmentally friendly products. Australian consumers are ready and they want to embrace everyday sustainable options.
Research shows that competitive prices and Australia’s commitment to sustainability rank in the top five reasons consumers buy from their favourite brands. For businesses in the promotional marketing department, this trend is certainly one to keep (cup) on top of your marketing strategy.

To be efficient at minimising waste and retaining its environmentally friendly status, reusable cups need to be used at least 100 times. Polypropylene cups can be washed up to 300 times before the quality diminishes.
