About Us

We believe that avoiding single-use waste should be as easy as creating it

Since 2018, we have been creating and improving a system of convenience that favours accessibility, community and promoting a circular economy.

2GoCup was founded

2GoCup was founded by Kevin Murphy with the aim of providing reusable branded cups to cafés and businesses.

We partnered with DCC, DCU, TCD, and EPA launching the first deposit and return in Ireland, Co-Cup.

We developed beyond a pilot cup and launched in 100+ locations across Ireland and UK.

Now

2GoCup has been building deposit and return systems for over five years, but it has never been about a cup.

It is about changing how our society does things. It’s about showing people there is a way to share products that reduces waste and saves everyone money. We want to connect hospitality businesses, and consumers, all over the world.
