A pocket-sized collapsible double-walled stainless steel cup that is 100% leakproof!

Story

ZYLCH is the reusable stainless steel cup that folds down to pocket-size and later expands into a 100% leakproof premium-grade cup. It is designed to bring style, innovation, and joy to sustainable living. ZYLCH’s thermo-insulating heat sleeve doubles as a carrying case making transport a breeze!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We get it, using single-use cups is convenient. And while your morning coffee cup doesn’t seem like much waste, consuming one single-use cup at a cafe every day for a year, takes one entire tree’s worth of paper. And if everyone is doing it, that adds up. Fast.

 

ZYLCH makes it comfortable, convenient, and easy for you to reduce waste without sacrificing style or practicality. 

 

 

 

We were named one of ProductHype’s Best Kickstarter Projects of 2022.

Vandita Joshi is a serial entrepreneur and a zero-waste living advocate. Tired of seeing disposable cups being tossed into landfills and oceans, Vandita decided to take on the challenge to make the most convenient reusable cup. Her brand name ZYLCH literally means zero and stands for a mission to start a zero-waste movement and to end ‘dispose of’ culture. Vandita believes that in order to live a more sustainable lifestyle, we need solutions that are sustainable to our lifestyle. And hence, with ZYLCH she sets out to make zero-waste living simple, easy, and practical. 

With every reusable cup that we bring to a cafe daily, ZYLCH will divert about ~350 single-use cups from our oceans each year. Along with that, ZYLCH pledges to plant 1 tree with every order. And that’s the impact ZYLCH will measure with its success!
