Rice husk cups, explained

What rice husk composite is, why it matters, and how it performs against paper and plastic.

Every year, millions of tonnes of rice husk are left over after harvest. Most of it is burned. By blending this natural fibre with food-grade polypropylene, we create a composite that is durable, lightweight and reusable.

Compared with single-use paper cups, a rice husk cup is designed to be washed and used again for years. Compared with pure plastic, it uses less virgin material and carries a visible sustainability story.

At LinkUp, rice husk cups are available in 6, 8, 12 and 16 oz, with custom printing for cafés, hotels and corporates.
