The TurtleTales Turtle Brew is a 200ml coffee mug made from rice husk biocomposite — a food-grade, BPA-free material crafted by upcycling agricultural rice husk waste. Ultra-light at just 67g, perfectly sized for cappuccinos and flat whites, and completely unbreakable. The ideal daily companion for the conscious commuter or desk worker who refuses to compromise on sustainability or style. Made in India. Certified non-toxic.
What Is Rice Husk Biocomposite?
Rice husk biocomposite is made by blending upcycled rice husk — a byproduct of Indian rice milling — with a food-grade polypropylene (PP) binding polymer. The result is a tough, lightweight, non-toxic material built for years of daily use. It upcycles agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned, reducing carbon emissions while creating a premium, reusable product that outlasts ordinary plastic cups by years.
