I saw how much single-use packaging was costing caf\u00e9s \u2014 financially and environmentally \u2014 and decided to adapt the proven European model to fit Australia&#8217;s caf\u00e9 culture and local manufacturing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Benedikt and his partner founded Good Reusables in Mullumbimby, the company behind Good Cup, in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The organisation offers Australia&#8217;s first locally made, deposit-return reuse system for caf\u00e9s, hotels, events and towns. Customers pay a small refundable deposit of $3 to borrow a reusable cup, which can be returned anywhere within the Good Cup network.<\/p>\n<p>The cups are manufactured in Melbourne from high-grade, fully recyclable polypropylene \u2014 a safe and durable material designed to withstand hundreds of uses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When they finally reach the end of life, we collect and recycle them back into new cups locally, keeping the whole system closed-loop,&#8221; Benedikt said.<\/p>\n<p>The company provides reusable hot and cold drink cups in multiple sizes, as well as matching lids and a cup display stand, with reusable containers for takeaway meals scheduled to be added in 2026.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_121310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-121310\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-121310\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/GoodCupcups.PhotoSUP_33535.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-121310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Good Cup reusable cups.
