CUSTOM ECO CUP DESIGN, UK
Available at
Bespoke illustrated eco cups for UK festivals, pubs and bars. We design, produce and deliver custom reusable drinkware that puts your brand directly into your customers' hands, reducing waste costs, staff hours during clean up and an improved experience.
One pub. One weekend.
94% less waste.
At the Faversham Hop Festival, we introduced 10,000 branded eco cups across the town. Before the switch, a single pub running over a three-day festival weekend needed a skip and 50 large black sacks for waste collection costing around £300. After switching to reusable cups, that same pub produced just 3 black sacks of waste over the entire weekend.
Multiply that across a whole street of venues and the savings to your business and the environment are quantifiable and significant.

Bespoke illustration that builds your brand
​
Yaiza Gardner creates custom illustrated drinkware that embodies your brand identity, builds customer loyalty, and makes sustainability part of the experience. Using hand-drawn illustration and digital processes, every eco cup design is unique to you.
Fed up of paying for waste collection and cleaning up cups after hours?
Single-use cups are wasteful, flimsy, and pollute our towns and coastlines. Bioplastics don't solve the problem they still linger in the environment with unknown long-term risks. Reusable eco cups are made from sturdy recycled plastic, won't blow away outdoors, can be used hundreds of times and recycled at end of life.
We can implement a deposit scheme, run promotions and work with sponsors to help fund your reusable cup programme making the switch straightforward for any UK festival, pub or bar.
Branded reusable drinkware puts your identity directly into your customers' hands. Every sip becomes a reminder of your venue. Don't let this opportunity blow away.

HARBOUR GIN
​Designing for reusable illustrated drinkware stemmed from working in a New Zealand bar where bespoke glassware was part of the drinking experience. In outdoor events bringing your own cup was the norm. If you didn't have your own cup, you couldn't get a drink. The cup epitomised design, individuality and sustainability, single-use cups were not as prominent as they are here.
Back in the UK, seeing drinks in single-use cups was commonplace and so was the waste. The cups are so flimsy the drink gets spilt or they topple over.
If a group of four drink three pints, this equates to 12 cups that are thrown away. We should be encouraging re-fill. I approached local pubs to understand the waste issues, and see if there was an opportunity to create a better product.
​​
Single-use cups are wasteful, flimsy, and pollute our oceans. Bioplastics don’t solve the problem — they still linger in the environment. So why are we still accepting this?
​
Combining great design with an eco cup produces a unique sustainable drinking product. Transform your business space and help change user behaviour, the natural world all from a single cup.
MY STORY
What about biodegradable plastic cups?
Bio plastics cups are greenwashing a wider issue. They have caused an influx of waste that doesn't biodegrade without commercial composting, and they add waste bulk to our soils with unknown long-term risks to our environment.
A pub client orders 30,000 biodegradable plastic cups in a season. Multiply this across venues in the UK and the waste problem escalates. Worldwide it is a global problem. The production of takeaways still consumes vast energy and resources, worsening the problem.
The plastic-looking cup referred to as PLA or TPLA based compostable plastics needs additional heat for long periods or it won’t break down and confused users dispose them with other plastic products that contaminate the recycling poly process. A high number of councils won't accept them in compost bins so they end up in landfill.
…or worse in our seas.
Contributing to another waste stream is not the answer and the extra waste is a responsibility the hospitality sector has to pay to remove, but as a lot of these cups are take-away who knows where they end up.
​
From October 2025, a new UK law – Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) will require all businesses using packaging to pay government-set recycling fees. This means every takeaway cup, lid, greaseproof paper, napkins and paper bags will carry an extra cost.
Time to design systems that make it easier to re-use and reduce waste.
Offering a refillable cup system, reduces the quantity of cup waste and promotes your business and raises awareness of waste.
Decorate your drinkware with an illustration that personalises your venue.
