Introducing InstaRinse
Across coffee shops, offices and universities, the disposable coffee cup has become synonymous with the UK's waste epidemic. 99.75% of the 2.5bn cups used annually are sent to landfill (House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee-2017).
​
Many large companies, in a bid to tackle their waste, have issued their employees with a reusable cup. However, this still causes a negative environmental effect as an office of 100 employees, may use over 100,000 litres of water annually simply hand washing reusables.
​
InstaRinse offers a unique solution in an under-explored space. Designed as a free-standing or built-in unit, it is a customer operated, self-contained, appliance, which allows users to rapidly (~15s) rinse and dry reusables efficiently and hygienically, using just 50ml of water.
​
You can find InstaRinse units in 1966 Costa, Bite and The Coffee Room.
