About this deal

The waffle of Cupffee edible cups is made entirely with natural ingredients, without the addition of sugars or preservatives. This makes the cups naturally sweet, without however altering the taste of the drinks, thanks to the absence of glazes or coatings. And once your drink is finished, the Cupffee cup can be eaten without feeling guilty: in fact, each pod weighs only 14 grams and provides less than 60 calories! Capacious, comfortable, crispy That would all be great news if it wasn’t for the fact that these points are only really found in supermarket car parks, and not on the streets where we need them. Cupffee is selling its B2B offering to companies across the EU, Middle East, Australia and the US, and has collaborated with coffee major Lavazza. As long as companies like this continue to take hardline radical approaches to solve the waste crisis, Cupfee will have a future.

Because are we really going to successfully convince people to take all their takeaway cups home with them and then dispose of them at a later date en masse? An app on your phone reminds you if you’ve forgotten to return a cup, and if you fail to do so you are charged, in a similar vein to city bike rental services. Depending on the size (110ml for espressos and short drinks, 220ml for cappuccinos, flat whites and tea etc.) the cups have 56kcal or 105kcal. They are also lightweight, coming in at 14g or 26g respectively. Investment to drive market penetration​However, as part of a World Earth Day stunt last year,Cupfee was served on a plastic-free, ultra-long-haul flight from Abu Dhabi to Australia, the first environmentally-friendly flight of its kind. Good-Edi’s product works for both for hot drinks such as coffee and tea as well as cold drinks. After about 250 recipe adjustments, the founders settled on a blend of rye flour, wheat bran, oat bran, sugar, salt, coconut oil and water. They say their container stays crispy holding a cup of hot coffee for about 40 minutes and won’t leak a cold beverage for about eight hours. You launched Twiice just a few weeks ago, but you first started working on the idea four years ago. What happened in those years to make that idea into a reality?

The result is a biodegradable wafer cup free from artificial colorants, sweeteners and preservatives. The start-up describes the ‘edible cookie cup’ as a ‘tasty, crunchy, and fully organic alternative to all disposable cups’. The most common contributors to plastic waste in the coffee industry are single-use takeaway cups. Half a trillion disposable cups are manufactured annually: the equivalent of 70 cups for every person on the planet. Once you take them from the container, keep them in a cool and dry place. Place them inside an airtight container to maintain the crispiness and maximise their shelf life. Why Choose Edible Cups?Because just like a normal cup, you don’t have to eat it (although that brings up arguments about food waste) and unlike a normal cup, it will biodegrade just fine on a landfill. But whereas finding sustainable plastic, paper or some other bizarre new material is the primary goal of most companies, when it comes to single-use cups, we already have an answer.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and spending increased time at home, many of us have taken a greater interest in what we eat, which has continued even beyond the banana bread craze of 2020. Consumers have become ever more scrupulous when considering what benefits and harms the food we eat can have, not only to ourselves, but also our planet. It is therefore unsurprising that the biggest food trends we see emerging in 2022 are focused around health benefits and reducing damage to our environment. Reinventing the coffee cup As coffee chains and restaurants aim to limit their use of single-use plastic takeout cups, dozens of new innovations are revealed every few months, all claiming to be the savior of sustainability, and looking not too dissimilar from the coffee cups we know and love. Well, the main problem is that the company Twiice which makes the cups are just a small family-owned business, and so the likelihood of this trial ever-expanding into something more serious is slim. Sustainability is a balance between the economics and the least energy and resource-intensive pathways and the best environmental performance and social outcomes across life cycles and throughout supply chains,” said Meidl. After hundreds of hours in the kitchen refining their concept, the duo took it to market. Their start-up, Good- Edi, now offers an edible, biodegradable, plastic-free alternative to the standard polyethylene-lined paper cups used for coffee that largely end up in landfills or get incinerated.Traditional examples include sausage casings, banana leaf plates, and nature’s favourites, such as orange and banana peels. In 2015, UK branches of the fast-food chain KFC ran a promotion stunt to celebrate their collaboration with coffee company, Seattle’s Best. The promotion featured edible wafer and white chocolate coffee cups enveloped in sugar paper sleeves branded with the Colonel’s logo. Given the amount of disposable coffee cups used each year and the length of time each cup requires to decompose – for example coffee cups containing polyethylene can take around 30 years to fully decompose – a solution to this problem is urgently needed if we are to continue to enjoy our morning beverage (and for some of us, continue to function like a normal human being!). We anticipate developments in the structure and manufacturing of coffee cups, as well as their recycling, in 2022 as the problem only becomes more pressing. Biodegradable plastics Still, the success of CupClub will be determined by how many sign-ups it gets, and it remains to be seen whether it will take off. Edible Is The Future
