Nomad Coffee is a community-focused café leading a meaningful shift toward sustainable coffee culture. Through our reusable-cup program, we eliminated single-use cups from daily operations and successfully saved over 200,000 disposable cups to date. This presentation will share the story behind this transition—why we made the change, the challenges we faced, how we built customer engagement, and the practical systems we created to make sustainability achievable in a busy café environment. Attendees will learn actionable strategies for reducing waste, designing an effective cup-return model, encouraging customer participation, and integrating sustainability into day-to-day operations without compromising service quality.
