Reusable Cup FAQs

Cauli makes it super easy for you to switch from your old single use containers to using reusables! You can borrow one of our containers for your lunch, snack or coffee and simply return to one of our return kiosk when your done, no washing out needed! You’ll have 7 days from when you borrow until you need to return your container, although we recommend returning as soon as you’re done with it.

Forgot about a meeting that started 5 minutes ago? No problem! All our containers have leakproof lids so you can take your leftovers with you to have later, and thanks to our 7 day borrow period there’s no rush to return before you’re ready.

Benugo is committed to reducing our impact on the planet. As part of that, we are working to phase out disposable cups starting with our key drink offerings. To support this, Ignacious Sancho Café is introducing a reusable cup scheme.

Cauli has collaborated with researchers from Imperial College London to conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) that evaluate the environmental impact of reusable packaging solutions compared to single-use alternatives. According to the LCAs, the main food container and cup options in the market have the potential to reduce the CO2 footprint of compostable clamshell boxes and cups by 98.7% and 94.1% respectively, over 400 uses. This approach also significantly reduces the volume of landfill waste. Full LCA reports are available upon request.
