ECO-MANIFESTO
Not many people know, but 2018 marked a somewhat infamous anniversary: 30 years since the birth of the disposable cardboard cup. In those three decades, we estimate that more than 3 trillion of them ended up in landfills. In case you're wondering, the numbers look something like this: 3,000,000,000,000.
The average lifetime of a single-use cardboard cup is less than 10 minutes, about enough to get your morning coffee from your favorite place to your office. Cardboard cups also contain plastic and for this reason less than 1% of them are recycled.
"A flower does not make spring" says a well-known proverb, so it is the duty of each of us to be part of the change. We at Olivo Coffee Roasters are joining the global movement to raise awareness of packaging waste and encourage you to too!
REFILL FOR A BETTER FUTURE. You save 1 leu on any drink to go in your reusable cup.
Starting today, at the Olivo Coffee.You.Go Kiosk (Bulevardul Eroilor, No. 7, Cluj-Napoca), we give you 1 leu as a gift for any to-go drink, if you bring your own reusable cup. Every time. You just have to have the glass with you and let the barista on duty know you want to use it.
Don't have your glass? We've thought about that too and we're giving you a helping hand.
We're premiering our new reusable cup, Olivcup!
CHOOSE THE SMART WAY TO DRINK YOUR COFFEE. Each Olivo Coffee Roasters reusable cup brings you 3 coffees as a gift.
Made from natural fibers - corn starch and resins (MF) - Olivcup does not contain BPA, BPS or phthalates. This way you can be sure that you are drinking from a natural product, made from one of the most sustainable resources on the planet - natural organic bamboo fiber, which regenerates quickly.
The cap and sleeve are made of food grade approved matte silicone, latex free and specially designed for hot drinks. The lid is equipped with a seal, so the glass is only good to take with you, wherever you go. The entire product (cup, lid and sleeve) is dishwasher safe and should last for years and years if you take care of it.
Olivcup is available online here or at Olivo Coffee.You.Go Kiosk, on Bulevardul Eroilor, No. 7, Cluj-Napoca. In addition, each Olivo Coffee Roasters reusable cup comes with 3 gift vouchers *, which you can use at our kiosk to get your favorite coffee. In Olivcup, of course! :)
*the offer is valid for Olivcups purchased from Olivo Coffee.You.Go Kiosk, on Bd. Eroilor, No. 7, Cluj-Napoca.

9 REASONS TO GIVE UP SINGLE-USE CUPS
- Single-use cardboard cups contain 5% polyurethane plastic, so it is extremely rare that these cups are recycled
- Half a trillion disposable cups are manufactured annually, which is more than 70 cups for every inhabitant of the planet.
- Most of the plastic used in the world today is for single-use products
- 4 billion trees or 35% of all trees cut down are destined for the stationery industry
- One ton of paper consumes 98 tons of resources in the manufacturing process
- Globally, we consume almost 300 million tons of paper; most come from virgin trees.
- Only a very small amount of recycled paper is used in the manufacture of paper cups due to health risks.
- 70% of the planet's paper comes from deforestation, not plantations or recycling
- The amount of waste we produce has increased more than tenfold in the last 20 years, from 40 kg to 560 kg / person / year.
