At the University of Glasgow, using a reusable cup can not only help save the planet but can also save you money. 

We love reusable cups which is why you can buy a KeepCup in any of our cafés on campus available in a range of colours so you can pick your favourite. That's not all, they have so many other benefits that you should know: 

1. Keep saving the planet

According to Zero Waste Scotland, if reusable cups replaced single-use cups, carbon emissions could fall by 69%. In the UK, this switch could save up 52,000 tonnes of CO2 each year! 

When you look at the bigger picture like this, you realise how important a simple step like using a reusable cup really is.

2. Keep the drinks flowing

Convenient is an understatement. With a reusable cup you can enjoy a hot drink before you even step foot onto campus, and top up when you get here.

KeepCups are made to last. With a splash-proof lid and comfortable to hold, they can always come in handy wherever you are. 

3. Keep saving money

Whether you're brewing a cuppa at home or fancying one at uni, you'll be saving money. Pick up one of our loyalty cards in our cafés now to start collecting stamps. When you use a reusable cup - no matter if that's your own or one of our KeepCups - you earn 2 stamps for every hot drinks you buy.

For every 10 stamps you'll be rewarded with a free coffee, meaning you can get one after just 5 hot drinks...talk about great value for money! 

4. Keep your drink hotter or colder for longer

Insulation, insulation, insulation - a key feature that single-use coffee cups don't have. With a reusable cup, your drink will stay just the way you ordered it for significantly longer. 

Did you know that KeepCups are the world's first barista-standard reusable coffee cup? Their design is made for the ideal coffee-to-milk ratio to make sure your drinks stay delicious. 

5. Keep using it!

Unlike flimsy disposable cups, reusable cups are designed for every day use that can last years. Their durability means that you only have to invest in one reusable cup, saving a lot of money in the long run. 

So you can keep enjoying our coffee at its best throughout your entire student life.
