Category Scores
• Material choice — 1.7 / 2
Raised from solid copper sheet with a solid copper handle, though whether the inside is lined is not specified, and copper is mined with no recycled content stated.
• Reusability — 2 / 2
Made to be used again and again for years.
• Durability / lifespan — 1.4 / 1.5
Solid copper is sturdy at about 0.5 kg, though it is softer than steel and can dent if dropped.
• Recyclability — 0.9 / 1
Copper is widely recyclable as scrap metal, though whether the mug has an inner lining is not specified by the supplier.
• Biodegradability / compostability — 0 / 1
Copper is a metal and does not biodegrade.
• Renewable / recycled / lower-impact material — 0.5 / 1
Copper is mined and not renewable, and the maker does not state any recycled content, though it earns some credit as a long-lasting recyclable metal.
• Replaces a wasteful product — 0.4 / 1
Mainly replaces other reusable mugs rather than a single-use product.
• End-of-life disposal — 0.5 / 0.5
Essentially a single metal, so it can go to a scrap metal recycler at the end of its life.
