MERGE's Sustainabilty Mission

An estimated 50 billion cups in the U.S. end up in landfills every year. While here, a standard paper cup takes nearly 20 years to decompose while a standard disposable plastic cup takes 450. Landfills are running out of space. With only 5% of Earth remaining wild, something must change. This is why we made MERGE. 


Our reusable cups replace disposable alternatives. We hope that by distributing these cups across Austin’s most positive community events, we can oppose current waste trends and promote conversations about sustainability.
