Vancouver's Eco-Friendly Café Network Nomad Hits 200,000+ Cups Milestone

This moment has finally arrived.

Nomad saved 206,183 disposable cups from landfill

This number might seem like just a statistic, but to us, it represents over 200,000 times you chose to think about the environment. It's the remarkable change created when each person's small actions come together.

Thank you, truly and sincerely.

Why Did We Start This?

It began with a concern about the sheer volume of disposable cups thrown away every day.

The moment of enjoying coffee at a café is brief, but it takes decades for that cup to decompose in nature. Even when we want to carry a tumbler, it's heavy, inconvenient to wash, and we often forget it at home.

"Convenience and environmental protection—do we really have to choose just one?"

Nomad Cup was born from this question. We wanted to create a way to achieve both the convenience of disposables and the responsibility of reusables.

What 200,000 Cups Means

Saving 206,183 disposable cups means:

  • Stopping hundreds of trees from being cut down

  • Giving our children's planet a little more room to breathe

But most importantly, it means that over 200,000 times, someone decided to "do things differently today."


The Future We Dream Of

Nomad Cup's goal isn't simply to lend and collect cups.

We want to change a world where single-use is the default.

We want to create a world where you don't have to ask for a "disposable cup" when ordering coffee, where using reusable cups isn't a special effort but a natural choice.

We'll continue partnering with more cafés, building more convenient return systems, and creating structures that make it easier for more people to participate.


This Was Possible Because of You

Deep gratitude to everyone who chooses Nomad Cup each time, who carefully returns cups after use, who introduces Nomad Cup to people around them, and to the café owners who partner with us.

Each of your small choices has come together to eliminate over 200,000 disposable cups from our planet.

Will you continue walking this path with us?

For a better tomorrow, Nomad Cup will be there with you.
