Muggi Office Cup Holders (made from fishing waste)

Muggi makes cup holders sold with an 88-year guarantee! Perfect for offices, they are also good for caravans and boats (sturdy and comfortable, to keep drinks save on choppy waves).

Ghost fishing gear makes up 10% of ocean waste, killing hundreds of thousands of marine creatures. Help remove ghost fishing waste.

This simple invention is just great! The inventor has ensured that older and disabled people can use it (including people with cerebral palsy, to avoid dangerous spills).

It’s sold worldwide, and one of those ‘aha’ inventions that could not only help to use up the mountains of collected fishing waste, but keep people safe from burns.

Avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. We like Sanctuary Coffee (profits help animals!)

Swishing coffee grounds into sinks could clog drains, so use a SinkShield. Unless you have a food waste bin, just bin coffee grounds to avoid harm to compost creatures. 

Always use desktop lamps and blinds at night to help prevent birds flying into windows. And choose non-toxic indoor plants if used, if working near pets (toxic ones include lilies and sago palm). And avoid/remove if hot-desking with others. 

Issues with ghost fishing waste

The fishing industry creates a large amount of waste. Old fishing nets, ropes, lines, traps, and other equipment may eventually become damaged or unwanted. If these materials are thrown away carelessly, they can cause serious problems for the environment and harm marine creatures.

Instead of treating old fishing equipment as useless rubbish, it can be collected and turned into new products. As these items are made from plastic, turning it into clothing is not good, as it just releases microplastics in washing machines. But for coasters and cup holders, it’s great.

Helps reduce the need for new plastic

Plastic is made from oil. So choosing items from old plastic helps to reduce the oil industry profits, which helps to stop climate change and warrs.
