Huskup Rice Husk Not Plastic Travel Mugs and Cutlery
The Huskup is a reusable coffee cup made from one of the world’s most abundant food waste materials: the humble rice husk. The Huskup doesn’t contain any plastic and can fully biodegrade at the end of its life, with no nasties that could leach into your drink – even when reheated in the microwave.
Huskup the reusable Coffee Cup
An incredible 2.5bn takeaway cups are discarded each year in Britain a lot of these are plastic sadly finishing in landfill or ditches and watercourses. To replace the cups with reusable coffee cups that are plastic free would seem a sensible solution, Huskups are a way to replace these, well what are Husk cups made from:
Each cup is dishwasher-safe and tough enough to withstand temperatures of -30 to 120. They’re not indestructible, but if you look after your Huskup it should last for years. At the end of its useful life, the Huskup is biodegradable and certified to European compostability standards (EN13432).
To go along with the cups Huskup also produces Food Grade Cutlery, a Knife, Fork & Spoon, again Biodegradable and Melamine Free.
As the Huskup can take natural agricultural waste from earth to earth, it addresses our takeaway cup crises without the drawbacks associated with some other reusable cups. ‘If we can avoid plastic in the first place, the founder explains, ‘then we won’t have the problems associated with it.’
