mugshare is an easy-to-use alternative to disposable, single-use coffee cups. It works on a circular sharing model, where mugs can be used time and time again by different people.
Mugshare is a student-led initiative that aims to decrease the number of disposable coffee cups used at UBC and beyond. It provides reusable mugs, and helps break down the barriers associated with using them. This project was funded by the AMS Sustainability Project Fund, and supported by the UBC SEEDS Sustainability Program.
How it works
1. Buy a drink at any partner cafes, ask for a mugshare mug, and pay a $2 refundable deposit.
2. Enjoy your drink, to stay or to go.
3. Return your mug at any mugshare location and get your $2 deposit back.
4. Used mugs will be washed and sanitized, then loaned out to the next person.
