A classic mule mug raised from solid copper sheet, with a hammered body, polished finish and a sturdy copper handle. Each mug is shaped by hand, so finishes vary slightly.

  • Capacity: 475 ml
  • Solid copper body and handle
  • Hammered texture, shiny polish
  • Weight: about 0.5 kg
  • Made in India by Ella's Touch

Care: bare copper darkens naturally with use; lemon and salt or a copper cleaner restores the shine.

Testing: the maker reports Eurofins testing to EU 10/2011 with lead, cadmium and mercury not detected.

Environmental Impact Score

Environmental Impact Score: 7.4 / 10

Sustainability Rating: Very Good

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.

• Recyclable as scrap metal at end of life

Sustainability Limitations

• Whether the mug has an inner lining is not specified by the supplier

A solid copper mug built to last for years and recyclable as scrap metal at the end of its life. It mainly replaces other reusable mugs rather than a disposable product, which keeps its score below our copper water bottles.
