What do we believe in?
We believe in beautiful and practical design and corporate transparency. This translates into every aspect of our business. We actively minimize the negative impacts of our operations and manufacturing.
Uppercup is an innovative design developed by baristas, with a double-wall design to keep your coffee hot and your fingers cold!
Our products adapt to your needs, and they can change as your life does.
All our products are designed with minimum components that can be replaced or recycled easily. This allows you to replace parts rather than entire products.
We believe in complete transparency and living up to our promise of lowering your carbon footprint throughout our entire supply chain.
What do we care about the most?
We care most about the environment and your health.
We think deeply about the materials and feel of our products, making them the ultimate feel-good experience.
We use a unique, high-quality material in every component of our coffee cup and water bottle to provide you with the safest and highest quality product.
We are always completely Bisphenol S (BPS) and Bisphenol A (BPA) free, and the Tritan used in our coffee cups and bottles is free of Estrogenic and Androgenic activity. Meaning we have researched to keep you at your healthiest!

What happens when you are finished with your reusable cup?
As a certified B-Corporation, we are committed to being a Zero Waste business.
We can recycle your old Uppercup's at the end of life, thereby closing the loop and enabling the preservation of our environment and reducing the pressure on recycling.
UPPERCUP+ is a product that takes your old Uppercup & uses it to make a new Uppercup+.
How do we close the loop?
Our mission is to help ease the transition from single-use to reusables and close the loop facilitating a circular economy.
We facilitate Reusable Cup & Container Sharing Programs to help you reach your waste minimisation targets. We make sure that no part of your Swap Cup & Swap Container program goes to waste.
We will take back your products and recycle them at the end of life, ensuring they don't end up in a landfill.
Recycling old Uppercup's means that we have created a closed-loop solution, where old Uppercup's can be recycled & reused.
Australian Made
We choose to design, operate & manufacture locally, all within a 25 km radius in Australia.
Uppercup was locally designed by James McKay a Melbourne based barista who was after the perfect cup.
Our reusable systems are made locally in Australia & through local jobs, we directly support & employ women from a refugee background. We know the families & people who make your products.
We work with local suppliers who share our same values to ensure your products and solutions support the community you live in while ensuring we are sustainable and ethical throughout the process.
All our packaging is made in Australia of 100% recycled cardboard.
