    Your Coffee Deserves Better (and So Does the Planet)

    Miir Travel Tumbler

    Your Coffee Deserves Better (and So Does the Planet)

    Your Everyday Coffee Upgrade Starts Here

    If you’re looking for a sleek, sustainable way to take your coffee on the go, it’s time to meet your forever cup. At The RE Place, we carry some of the most thoughtfully designed travel tumblers around — including the durable, eco-conscious Miir Travel Tumblers, the design-forward Fellow Carter Mugs,and the minimalist Kinto Travel Tumblers. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or café-hopping around Toronto, these stainless steel companions are here to help you sip sustainably (and stylishly).


    Let’s be honest — that single-use cup might look innocent enough when you grab your oat flat white on the go, but it’s part of a massive problem. Millions (yes, millions) of paper and plastic cups end up in landfills every single day — in the GTA alone. Add in the plastic lids, the liners, and the “compostable” cups that somehow never make it to a compost facility, and you’ve got a sustainability hangover no caffeine can cure.

    So what’s the fix? BYO. Bring your own tumbler. It’s the simplest, chicest way to sip more sustainably — and it actually makes your coffee taste better.


    The Case for Stainless Steel

    Not all cups are created equal. Paper and plastic cups don’t just clutter landfills — they also shed microplastics into your drink. (Yes, your latte might have a sprinkle of plastic you didn’t order.)

    That’s where stainless steel shines. Brands like Miir, Fellow Carter, and Kinto have perfected the art of the reusable cup — sleek, insulated, and built to last. They keep your coffee hot (or your iced matcha cold), don’t leach chemicals, and look good doing it.

    Bonus: every time you refill instead of toss, you’re saying no to the throwaway culture that’s drowning our planet in plastic.


    Forgetful? Here’s How to Remember Your Tumbler

    We get it — you’re juggling life, work, gym, kids, and the eternal “where are my keys?” chaos. But remembering your travel tumbler doesn’t have to be another chore. Try these hacks:

    • Keep it in your bag. Treat it like your wallet — it goes where you go.

    • Leave one at work. You’ll thank yourself on those rushed mornings.

    • Keep it in your car cupholder. (That’s what it’s for, right?)

    • Put it by your coffee beans or kettle. Visual cue = instant reminder.

    • Reward yourself. A gold star, or just that smug feeling of being the sustainable one in line.


    BYO or Sit & Sip

    We’re big fans of slowing down, too. If you forget your tumbler — no shame! Just opt to sit and sip. Most cafés (including ours) serve drinks in proper cups for people who choose to stay. It’s a small act of resistance against the throwaway rush of modern life — and honestly, your coffee tastes better when you’re not gulping it at a red light.


    Sustainability That Travels With You

    Switching to a reusable tumbler might feel small, but every refill adds up — less waste, fewer microplastics, more mindful moments. Whether you’re team Miir, Carter, or Kinto, what matters most is that you’re saying yes to sustainability and no to disposable culture.

    The world doesn’t need another paper cup. It needs more people like you — sipping with intention.
