KeepCup Materials
KeepCup is made from high-quality, eco-conscious materials that are safe, durable, and designed to reduce waste. Here’s a guide to the materials used across our products:
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is a durable, heat-resistant material that allows you to enjoy your coffee’s full aroma and flavour while providing a clear view of your beverage. Made from soda lime glass, commonly used for everyday cups and bottles, it is tempered for extra durability and heat resistance.
Material: Tempered soda lime glass
Manufactured in: China
Recycled Content: Made from approximately 25% recycled material
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe (top rack) and microwave safe with the lid off, up to 100°C. However, avoid rapid temperature changes, heating above boiling, or placing a cold cup in boiling water to prevent the glass from shattering.
Recycling & Disposal: Fully recyclable; rinse and place in designated glass bins.
Stainless Steel
Durable and double-walled, stainless steel keeps your beverage at the perfect temperature while ensuring a clean, fresh taste. Made from 18/8 (304) food-grade stainless steel with 35% recycled content, it is corrosion-resistant and designed for long-lasting use. The electropolished interior preserves the flavour of your drink, is easy to clean, and reduces bacterial build-up without the need for coatings.
Material: 18/8 (304) food-grade stainless steel

Recycled Content: Made from 35% recycled content
Care Instructions: Hand wash recommended; dishwasher safe on the top rack. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.
Recycling & Disposal: Fully Recyclable, rinse before placing in metal collection.
Tritan Plastic
Tritan is a clear, durable copolyester that is lightweight and highly impact resistant, making it ideal for everyday use. It retains clarity over time and is resistant to staining, odours, and shattering, helping your drink ware stay looking new for longer. Tritan is also free from BPA, BPS, and phthalates.
Material: Tritan copolyester plastic
Manufactured in: Australia
Recycled Content: None
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe (top rack). Avoid abrasive scrubbers, as they can cause fine scratches that may make the plastic appear cloudy.
Recycling & Disposal: Tritan is classified as plastic and can usually be disposed of through the regular plastic packaging recycling stream, but local rules vary so it is best to check with your municipality.
Plastic Press Lid and Plug
Designed for easy and comfortable sipping, the Press Lid provides a secure fit and smooth flow, while the Plug helps prevent spills and closes the cup when not drinking. The lid is made of two parts: a rigid polypropylene (PP) body with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) inner seal to create a flexible, snug fit that accommodates slight variations in glass cup diameters. The Plug is made entirely of TPE for a consistent, secure closure.
Material: Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
Manufactured in: Australia and the United Kingdom
Recycled Content: None
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe (top rack)
Recycling & Disposal: Can generally be recycled with other plastic containers however it is best to check local guidelines.
Cork Band
Natural cork is soft and comfortable to hold, providing insulation from heat while adding a pleasant tactile feel. Our bands are made from leftover cork from wine production in Portugal, granulated and gently bonded with a small amount of vegan food-grade polyurethane to keep the natural texture and appearance.
Material: Recovered cork
Manufactured in: Portugal
Recycled Content: Made from 100% leftover cork from wine production
Care Instructions: Hand wash only; keep the band on during regular use, but occasionally remove it to let it air dry completely.
Recycling & Disposal: Cork is a biodegradable and compostable material. If you would like to dispose in the garbage and cork recycling is unavailable in your area you may easily dispose in non-burnable waste.
Silicone Band
Our Silicone bands provide slip resistance and comfort, giving a secure grip and thermal protection for easier handling. They are made from food-grade silicone, a durable synthetic elastomer that resists degradation and maintains its shape over time.
Material: Food-grade Silicone (synthetic elastomer) #7
Manufactured in: China
Recycled Content: None
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe (top rack)
Recycling & Disposal: Synthetic elastomer is not recyclable so it can be disposed of in non-burnable waste.
