Introducing our MVP MatterCup 🎉
The MatterCup pilot program is launching with these cups to test out our system, after which we plan to redesign the cup based on user feedback.
MatterCups are made of 100% polypropylene, a food-grade material that is BPA-free, dishwasher safe, light, durable, and withstanding of hot and cold temperatures. To start, only one size (16 oz. / medium) will be offered.
MatterCup can be used for both hot and cold drinks, so no need to pass up on your iced lattes!

What’s wrong with this picture?
We see trash cans like this every day, both on campus and in the city of Davis!People need (and want!) to take their drinks to-go, but we all create single-cup waste in the process. 🥤
At MatterCup, we are building a solution to address this alarming problem. Our cup sharing system creates a closed loop process to replace the single-use cup with a reusable alternative! MatterCup is both simple and effective👇
Reuse | Return | Repeat
