Ecoffee Cup x Van Gogh Museum joined forces to raise awareness of single-use waste, through the beauty of Vincent van Gogh.
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
— Vincent Van Gogh
This summer will see the global launch of the Van Gogh Museum collection of Ecoffee Cup reusable to-go cups. Featuring six of Vincent’s greatest works from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam – Sunflowers, Flowering Plum Orchard, Almond Blossom, Old Vineyard with Peasant Woman, The Bedroom and Irises – the collection comes in two sizes, 400ml and 350ml.
Ecoffee Cup Brand Director, David McLagan elaborates about the partnership: “We have always pursued a bold, colorful aesthetic, so these iconic Van Gogh Museum works are a natural fit for our brand. “
Since we began, our mission has been a simple one and Vincent himself said that great things are done by a series of small things brought together. So if 2 million people chose to re-use just once a week, we would save a staggering 104 million cups from landfill each year.
— David McLagan, Ecoffee Cup Brand Director.
Made with natural, sustainable materials, Ecoffee Cup is light, bright and beautiful to drink from, with no plastic aftertaste. It is dishwasher safe, suitable for microwave reheat and should last for years if treated nicely. It also complies with 2021 European food contact regulations.
