HuskeeCup is a coffee cup made from 'coffee husks' as one of its raw materials.
Coffee husks are the outer skins and 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" headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
Australia has a long-standing cafe culture, with over 100,000 coffee cups consumed every hour nationwide. And in Australia, approximately 60,000 kg of coffee cup waste is sent to landfills every year.
With the corporate philosophy "Bring waste, Back to life," Huskee is working to reduce both cup waste and husk waste by spreading HuskeeCups globally.
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 in five areas set by the organization, including environmental and social considerations, transparency, and accountability.
