■ THANKS FOR SHARING Victoria-based Nulla Project fills the need for a simple system that re- duces single-use cup waste, offering coffee shop customers at partnering locations a reusable cup for $5. You can take it home, then switch it with a fresh one on your next visit, or get your deposit back. Hoping to make a dent in the tens of millions of cups disposed of locally each year, Van- couver's Cuppy is bringing its own share program to the Metro region. ■ BUBBLE WRAP As bubble tea mania continues, Reusable BBT Cup is here to keep the good times eco-friendly. The Vancouver-based company, now at 14 retailers across B.C. and two in Saskatchewan, is looking to go international with its glass cups and bamboo lids. Besides offering DIY bubble tea kits, Chance Café on Vancouver's Commercial Street en- courages waste reduction by selling glass cups and metal straws. ■ STYLE AND SUBSTANCE Like an outfit, you want a reusable coffee cup to reflect your vibe. Silk Road Tea's ceramic Cup to Go has thick walls to keep drinks hot or cold. No two designs for the Victoria outfit's elegant vessels are the same, thanks to their hand- applied glazes. Showcasing work by local Indigenous artists, North Vancouver-based Panabo's 500-mL stainless steel coffee tumblers are double-walled. • ON T R E N D MARCH/APRIL 2022 BCBUSINESS 57 REUSABLE BBT CUP Are You Looking to Build a Strong Corporate Culture?
