What’s in your cup? Coffee or plastic waste?
Each time we pour coffee or tea into a cup, the liquid interacts with the materials, either maintaining its purity or introducing harmful chemicals. Many standard to-go cups, made from plastic or coated paper, contain toxins that can seep into hot beverages. Therefore, when selecting a tumbler for your daily coffee, it is important to consider more than just its appearance.
Plastic particles can find their way into our coffee or tea in various ways, from disposable to-go cups to the at-home machines and accessories we use for brewing. While plastic may seem unavoidable, making informed choices can help reduce our exposure to it in our daily beverages.
How can your morning brew be plastic-free?
1. Find plastic-free coffee makers and accessories - Many coffee makers and accessories are designed to minimize plastic exposure. While some may have a higher upfront cost, their durability and minimal plastic content make them a worthwhile investment. With proper care, these plastic-free options last longer, ultimately saving you money over time.
2. Find plastic-free brewing tools and accessories - To minimize plastic waste in the brewing process, consider using biodegradable coffee pods, reusable metal filters, wooden or bamboo stirrers, and coffee makers made of stainless steel or glass.
