The HuskeeCup is a coffee cup made using "coffee husks" as one of its raw materials.
Coffee husks are the outer skins or shells produced when coffee beans are extracted from the coffee fruit, and are usually disposed of as waste. HuskeeCup was born from the idea, "What if we could transform such waste into something wonderful?"
HuskeeCup was created by Huskee, a company founded by Saxon Wright, owner of the roaster cafe "Pablo & Rusty's" with headquarters in Sydney, Australia.
Australia has a long-standing and advanced cafe culture, with over 100,000 coffee cups consumed every hour nationwide. And approximately 60,000 kg of coffee cup waste is landfilled in Australia every year.
Huskee operates under the corporate philosophy "Bring waste, Back to life," and by spreading HuskeeCups globally, it is working to reduce both cup waste and husk waste.
Furthermore, Huskee has obtained "B Corp" certification (*) from "B Lab," a non-profit organization in Pennsylvania, USA.
* "B Corp" is a certification system launched by "B Lab" in 2006. To be certified, companies must meet standards set by the organization in five areas, including environmental and social considerations, transparency, and accountability.
