Love your hot drinks, but always conscious of your environmental footprint? Enter [Good-Edi](https://good-edi.com/), a company whose entire ethos is centred on solving the ever-growing pollution and waste issue created by takeaway cups. While many cafes have been on the recyclable/reusable/compostable bandwagon for some time, this innovation takes the biscuit… to the next level. Think of the water (and time) you’ll save on washing up!

The concept of the edible cup was the brainchild of good friends Catherine Hutchins and Aniyo Rahebi, and with their collective 20 years of food processing industry experience, they decided to use their genius for niceness instead of evil.

 

According to their mission statement, approximately ‘1 billion takeaway cups are being sent to landfill’ each year. The Good-Edi cup is the ‘sustainable and eco-friendly choice when opting for a single-use takeaway cup’.

 

 

Understandably, there’s probably a bit of scepticism out there about how palatable an edible cup might be, but we have it on good authority (i.e. our Sales Superstars Karen and Tam) that they are ‘very yummy’. We even tried them ourselves and they didn't disappoint! Good-Edi's description of the cups as ‘crispy, tasty, eco-friendly, sustainable, kind, loving, waffly goodness’ is pretty accurate.

So, what exactly are these cups made of? Good-Edi says their cups are made with ethical, locally sourced ingredients: rye, wheat, oats, sugar, coconut oil and salt. The cups are 100% vegan, but anyone with rye, wheat, oat and gluten allergies are advised that this product may not be for them. The hygienic paper cup sleeves are also fully recyclable.

But wait, don’t biscuits go soft in liquid? Not these babies! The cup itself doesn’t alter the taste of your drink and one of the key product features is that they last up to 8 hours while holding hot liquids. Honestly – who takes 8 hours to drink a cup of tea, coffee or chai?! And you even get a tasty treat at the end of it. It’s the cup that keeps on giving!

As much as we love the work that Good-Edi are doing, it should be noted that they aren’t the only ones in the edible cup game. [Selpak](https://selpak.com.au/machines/edible-solid-dough-cups/) also make an edible cup that can withstand liquids up to 80°C, stay crispy for 45 minutes and won’t leak for up to 12 hours; and [Uuvipak](https://australianmade.com.au/licensees/uuvipak/uuvipak-edible-cups) will soon be producing a range of edible bowls and plates as well as their cups, which are made with food wastes from manufacturing plants.

 

 

So, what’s your take on the edible cup? Would you give it a taste test?
