Sustainable Drinkware Lids for Your Favorite Beverages
When you’re up before the sun or hitting your afternoon slump, nothing gets you through the day like your favorite beverage. Whether it’s your steaming morning coffee or your afternoon iced beverage, your sipping habits become parts of your day that you look forward to. But it’s easy to forget that these small daily actions can have a big impact. If you’re looking to live more sustainably but feel unsure of where to begin, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed! There are many small habits you can integrate into your life that help you build good habits. Even small steps are steps forward, and at Merchology, we want to help you get started!
Enter Zusa. Zusa is a sustainable corporate apparel and gifts brand that was founded to help companies make a difference. The brand’s founders saw a gap in the corporate gifting world when it comes to sustainable gifting practices. That’s why, as of 2022, Zusa became carbon-neutral certified.
The brand is constantly seeking to improve upon its already sustainable practices so that we can all keep moving toward an eco-friendly future. This includes biodegradable drinkware cap options! Instead of sitting in a landfill for hundreds of years, these biodegradable lids will break down and disappear! They’re a simple but effective way to reduce your company’s climate footprint, and that’s what Zusa is all about.
How Do Biodegradable Materials Work?
What does biodegradable really mean? Simply put, biodegradable materials are created to break down quicker and more easily than non-biodegradable materials. Biodegradable plastics, which are what these Zusa drinkware caps are made of, are engineered to break down more quickly, while non-biodegradable plastics are engineered to last a very long time. Every material will break down over time, but plastics and other inorganic materials can take hundreds or thousands of years to degrade. Biodegradable plastics are designed to break down within a year or less in the right conditions.
The biodegradation technology used in these Zusa biodegradable lids is a special additive that attracts microorganisms, which then consume, break down, and digest the polymer material of the lid. What’s even better? When bacteria and other microorganisms break down the plastic material, the only byproducts left behind are CO2, CH4, water, and biomass, which means that no microplastics are left behind!
Why don’t we want to add more mass to our landfills? Because landfills aren’t just closed-off, manageably sized sites that have no impact on the world around them. Waste from landfills pollutes the surrounding water, air, and land. Landfills impact biodiversity, taking over ecosystems and causing animals and insects to die or relocate. The less we as consumers contribute to landfills, the better. This is why biodegradable materials were created: the sooner they break down into natural materials, the less of our land area is taken up.
The Zusa TRITAN Clear Plastic Lid
The Zusa TRITAN Clear Plastic Lid is a handy sustainable accessory that will make your morning cup even easier. It’s dishwasher safe, so you can easily make sure it’s clean and sanitized. It seals tightly so you don’t have to worry about leakage or spills when heading to the office or hurrying through the airport on a business trip. Best of all, if the Zusa TRITAN Clear Plastic Lid ends up in a landfill, it will take less than one year to break down!
It’s not just this lid that’s eco-friendly: The Zusa TRITAN Clear Plastic Lid fits the custom Zusa Commuter Tumbler and the logo-branded Zusa Daybreaker Mug, which are both recyclable! With your logo added, you can help your team members make their morning coffee sustainable!
Zusa Sidekick Water Bottle Lid
The Zusa Sidekick Water Bottle Lid is made of 100% recycled plastic, which equals about six single-use plastic water bottles! This lid has two functions: first, the entire lid can be unscrewed to allow a wider opening for adding ice. Second, an additional small top lid allows for easier sipping. Both seal tightly to stop leaks and spills. It also has a convenient carrying strap.
This Zusa water bottle lid pairs with the corporate Zusa Sidekick Water Bottle, which is made from 8 recycled plastic water bottles! The pro-grade stainless steel of this sustainable water bottle keeps 20 ounces of liquid hot for up to 10 hours and cold for 20 hours! This custom stainless steel water bottle with your company’s logo makes a sustainable gift that will keep your team hydrated and help them continue to build sustainable habits!
