About

Pottery For The Planet brings to you the original ceramic reusable coffee cup. 

Its time for the disposable culture to change! Our aim is to remove single use disposable cups from our coffee culture by creating a beautiful product that will be loved and used again and again and help reduce the amount of throw away cups going into land-fill every day. 

Handmade from vitrified ceramic and fitted with a 100% silicone lid, these beautiful cups are a sustainable alternative to throw away coffee cups. It is estimated Australians waste about 1 billion disposable coffee cups each year and we think it’s time to stop the waste! By purchasing this plastic free product you will be helping Mother Earth and helping change a culture. It’s time to show the world that single use plastic is not OK

Pottery For The Planet is an Australian Marine Conservation Society Business Sponsor, so when you purchase a Planet Cup not only will you be helping reduce landfill, you will be helping generate funds for campaigns to reduce plastics in the ocean and protect sea creatures and their fragile oceanic habitats.

 

Pottery For The Planet began in 2013 when owners Renton Bishopric and Clare Botfield designed and created a series of limited edition ceramic bowls called “Coal For Breakfast”. The Breaky Bowls were sold to raise funds to protect the Great Barrier Reef and campaign against the development of a coal port in Keppel Bay at the Fitzroy River Delta in the Capricorn Coast of Queensland. After the success of this campaign and others that followed Renton and Clare decided it was time for Pottery For The Planet to make some grass-roots changes by creating a plastic-free sustainable product; the Planet Cup.
