Less disposable plastic, more clean drinking water
Retulp Mission Indisposable stops single-use plastic with reusable cups and food containers that you use for life. While plastic production grows and nature suffers, we turn off the plastic tap and open the drinking water tap: saving 20 million bottles and 20 million gallons of water annually, combined.
So, want to know right away what your business can do? Simply fill out our impact meter. Indicate how many sustainable business gifts - bottles, mugs or other staff gifts - you want to order and see your results at a glance. The tool quickly calculates how many liters of clean drinking water you will donate through our Water-for-Life projects and how many people will have daily access to a safe tap.

From disposable cups to sustainable employee gifts
Disposable cups may seem like peanuts in your monthly budget, but when you add it all up, it's easy to swallow. It's not just the cardboard cup itself that adds up, but also waste disposal, carbon emissions, image damage and even staff turnover. Fortunately, you can cut those costs and immediately score with sustainable personnel gifts and business gifts.
How. Check out the five biggest costs of disposable cups below and find out how to cut them in half tomorrow. That whole idea of disposable may finally be in the trash anyway!
1. The five cost drivers of disposable cups.
-
Purchasing disposable cups
Ten cents per cup sounds harmless, until you chase through 10,000 a year: €1,000. If you switch to reusable, printed mugs, you replace hundreds of disposable cups per mug. That's a nice savings. -
Waste disposal
A paper cup weighs ±10 g. For every ton of residual waste in the EU, you pay about €162. Do the math: €16 per 10,000 cups. Less waste = less kilos = less cost. Simple. -
Environmental cost (carbon emissions).
One single-use cup generates 0.17 kg of CO₂. At 10,000 pieces, you're at 1.7 tons of CO₂ - comparable to nine return trips Amsterdam-Paris per person. A reusable cup has already made up for those emissions after say ten refills. -
Marketing & PR
On average, 7.7% of your sales goes to marketing. Make sustainable business gifts your new marketing tool and shift a chunk of that budget straight to impact. -
Employee satisfaction and turnover
No one is happy with a boring disposable cup. Give your team a premium personalized bottle or mug. Such a seemingly small employee gift can significantly reduce absenteeism and turnover.
How to switch to reusable as a business
-
Choose your drinkware
Go for stainless steel bottles and ceramic mugs that can easily be printed with your logo. Double win: sustainable business gifts that are visible every day and replace disposable plastic. -
Make it personal
Add name engravings or company values. Personalized corporate gifts increase the likelihood that everyone will use their cup - and not leave it in the cupboard. -
Communicate your impact
Share monthly how many disposable cups, CO₂ and euros you've saved. This motivates, strengthens your brand and provides great content for your socials. -
Bring colleagues along
Organize a mini-kick-off, share cool fact sheets and let colleagues pick up their new mug. That way, adoption goes flying.
In short: make the move today from single-use to reusable coffee cups, bottles and other sustainable business gifts. Within one year you will see lower costs, happy employees and - not unimportantly - a substantial decrease in CO₂ emissions. Feel like sparring?
