Bring Your Own Cup (BYOC)

Campaign

Bringing reusable cup behavior to San Francisco, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties

Bring Your Own Cup (BYOC) is a Bay Area—wide program that helps coffee shops, boba shops, and cafes reduce single-use cup waste while attracting sustainability-minded customers. The campaign makes it simple for businesses to welcome reusable cups through free, flexible participation and community visibility.

    • Customers bring their clean, reusable cups when ordering

    • Baristas serve drinks with the reusable cups, rather than relying on single-use ones

    …it’s simple!
