Would you ever sip your morning coffee out of a plastic bag? exactly. Neither would we.
But here’s the wild part, you basically already are if you’re still using single-use takeaway cups.
The Hidden Plastic in ‘Paper’ Coffee Cups
They may look like paper on the outside, but most disposable coffee cups are lined with plastic on the inside. That thin, invisible layer? It’s polyethylene plastic and it’s what keeps your flat white from soaking through the cup. But when hot liquid meets plastic? That’s where things get concerning. Recent studies show that just one 100ml serving of hot coffee in a disposable cup can release around 25,000 micron-sized microplastic particles into your drink. Yep, twenty five thousand. In every cup and then you guessed it, you drink them.
So What’s the Solution?
Ditch the disposables. Swap your single-use cup for a reusable KeepCup and avoid ingesting microplastics before 9 a.m. Not only does a KeepCup reduce your environmental footprint, but it also cuts out the hidden plastic exposure that comes with disposables. It’s better for the planet and for your body.
