MEET FRANK. Our Favourite Reusable Coffee Cup.

But that's what we did.  Because we're somewhat excited about celebrating the arrival of our new Frank Green collection.

The collection has a deep sustainability mission at the forefront of their brand, are winning design awards left, right and centre for their smart technology and no spill sip features, and being Aussies ... they are of course really nice people.

We want to connect you today, to not just the new (gorgeous) stainless steel collection but the lad behind the Frank Green movement,  Ben Young.  As part of our #DwellConsciously series, we talked DESIGN, PEOPLE, PRODUCTION & SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE.  We hope you're as inspired by his world as we are.

"Frank Green started with an honest approach to sustainability – reducing single-use waste by reimagining cups and bottles. It was years of toiling. Caffeine fueled days and sleepless nights; because we knew the world needed our products and they needed to be perfect.

 

Style needed to be factored in along with functionality and our environment. The kind you want to carry with you. Our SmartCups and SmartBottles hold a design patent, are curved to comfortably fit your hand, made of premium, safe materials AND the only vessels of their kind with in-built technology.

 

Our ambitious idea is now a philosophy, we are Designed for Humanity."

 "We use high grade premium materials in each Frank Green product to ensure functionality and that users get the best experience possible.  All our products are 100% recyclable. We also, use recycled material for all our packaging.  In the rare case of repair, most components can be replaced."

 

"We pride ourselves on ensuring we support Australian made where possible.  The majority of our products including bases, lids and even product packaging are made right here in Melbourne.  Due to accessibility of materials, it was necessary for us to manufacture our Stainless Steel bases offshore in PRC.

The people we work with are very experienced in their fields, passionate about making high quality products but also support the environment."

"The primary purpose of reusable cups and bottles is to provide consumers with an alternative to single-use, and as a byproduct, limit the volume of these products ending up in landfill. On average it takes over 450 years for a single use water bottle to decompose, and 20 years for coffee cups. Our vision is not just to help rid the world of single-use plastic, but to visibly reduce the amount of plastic ending up in landfill and our oceans. We hope to inspire change and create a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come."

 "With nature the core of what we do here at Frank Green and our primary purpose being to protect it, we believe that living sustainably is our best chance of preserving our invaluable natural resources. We also believe that as consumers, there is always an option to do better, consume better and even a small change in daily behaviour (such as using a reusable SmartCup over grabbing a single-use coffee) is achievable. It’s the accumulation of small actions such as these that really bring about change."
