When it comes to hand-cranked drinks in Taiwan, what comes to your mind?


Taiwan is a kingdom of hand-cranked beverages. Our beverages are famous all over the world. The rich and delicious "Bubble Milk Tea" has become an international light. In the afternoon, buying a cup of hand-cranked beverages is a " small " for many people. However, in a short period of time , these " small fortunes " left the earth with one more indigestible disposable cup.




According to the statistics of the " EPA " , Taiwan consumes nearly 2 billion disposable plastic beverage cups a year, and the manufacture of these disposable cups emits 6 million kilograms of carbon dioxide, causing environmental pollution and ecological crises, such as burning or marine Waste, etc., is a crisis identified by the United Nations as second only to climate change!




How will the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency restrict the use of plastic beverage cups?






Taiwan's Environmental Protection Agency  announces the reduction schedule for disposable plastics such as straws, drink cups, shopping bags, and disposable tableware


  • In 2020, disposable tableware and plastic straws cannot be provided once for internal use; the discount for bring-your-own drink cups will be strengthened
  • In 2025, the use of disposable plastic disposable tableware will be completely restricted , but it will need to be purchased at a price, and the quantity will be determined by price .
  • In 2030, plastic shopping bags, disposable tableware, disposable drink cups, and plastic straws will be completely banned .

The era of circular economy is coming






What is circular economy?

Compared with the linear model, circular economy emphasizes the principles of resource reuse, waste reduction and waste reduction. It can enter a new cycle and become a new raw material or material. In addition to being more environmentally friendly, it can also reduce production costs, help enterprises and resources to coexist, and thus achieve the purpose of sustainable operation.


Sharing is also a type of circular economy. Through product sharing, product waste is reduced. Common cases include car sharing (iRent), bicycle sharing (Youbike), scooter sharing (GoShare), and sharing of power banks.




In addition to the common transportation sharing, now even the "green cup" can be shared.In fact, there is precedent in Europe. The most popular country for renting takeaway drink cups is "Recup" in Germany.

Since its establishment in 2016, the leasing bases have spread all over Germany. After use, consumers can return to any store that participates in the takeaway cup leasing program, and can get back a deposit of 1 euro, and the store will be responsible for the cleaning of the cup.

In recent years, some operators in Taiwan have also launched the service of "recycling cup rental ". Taking "Good Box Maker " as an example, through simple registration procedures, the rental of recycling cups can be completed, bringing the concept of environmentally friendly cup rental into a new life.

Common Q&A for Circulation Cups




  • Is there a fee to rent a recycle cup?


    The general public needs to join the membership to use the container, but the good box does not charge a membership fee .

    Founder Song Yizhen said: "Disposable containers are free for you to use without pain. If the threshold for recycling containers increases, it will be easier for everyone to return to the embrace of disposable containers; on the other hand, if there is a charge, people who do not use it may be because It is not environmentally friendly to be attacked without more leeway to pay for services.”


  • Recycle Cup Hygiene Concerns ? Is it clean ?


    The cleaning of the good box cups and cups complies withthe "Guidelines for Good Tableware Cleaning", and the disinfection is strengthened when the epidemic heats up. In addition to the original 85-degree high-temperature steam sterilization, plus a "far-infrared sterilization cabinet", the public can use the recyclable cups with confidence. 

    Disinfection process: the container is sterilized at 85 degrees for 45 minutes, and the dust bag is sterilized at 65 degrees for 30 minutes.

experience




This is my first time renting a recyclable cup. At the beginning, I had the same mentality as most people. I had doubts about hygiene and I was worried that I would not wash it clean enough. After I actually used it, the original worry disappeared . I will keep using it .

The recirculating cup is made of PP polypropylene material, and with the detachable silicone cup cover accessories, you can drink pearl milk tea or pure tea. It is light and convenient to use, and it is also very convenient to rent and return. Restricted by region.

To do a small thing for the earth, start from daily life, environmental protection is not difficult, rent instead of purchase, reduce unnecessary waste, if it is not convenient to bring your own drink cups, you can choose recycling in stores that provide recycling cups Cup, and let more people know about this service and implement a new life of reducing plastic .
