Get Your Mug  |  Use Your Mug  |  Lug Your Mug

Each year Western Michigan University spends over $32,000 to purchase Styrofoam® cups, paper cups, and plastics lids. There are additional "upstream" environmental and energy costs with manufacturing the disposable beverage and "downstream" costs associated with the collection, transport, and disposal. On campus we purchase over 1/2 million disposable cups, which generate over 5 tons of waste.

The EcoMug Program to respond to this campus sustainability opportunity. The EcoMug:

• is a 15 oz. dual-wall, recyclable, stainless-steel travel mug
• is FREE—to all incoming first year and transfer students
• offers discounts at Campus Cafés and local businesses
• Dining Halls for Breakfast and Late Night Carry-out

With your participation, the EcoMug will help eliminate these harmful “upstream” and “downstream” costs while saving you money.
