Podcast appearances and mentions of Abigail Forsyth

Animal rights group PETA has launched a campaign calling on the Brisbane Broncos to retire their live horse mascot, Buck. The Broncos have responded, stating, "We have no plans to retire Buck." PETA Asia-Pacific Campaign Manager, Abigail Forsyth, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It's really simple that just live animals don't belong at sporting events. And forcing a horse like Buck into a stadium full of bright lights and screaming fans, loud noises. It's a terrifying and distressing experience for that animal." "Our main ask is to retire Buck. But there are also other things that the team can do and the name and imagery that the team uses glorifies rodeos. And rodeos are an industry built on animal fear and pain and we're simply asking them to leave the rodeo imagery behind." "Why not embrace a new name that has no animal cruelty attached?" Ms Forsyth continued. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Coffee Break, Rohan and Kirk dive into their latest conversation with Abigail Forsyth, the Founder of KeepCup, to unpack some of the episode's best moments. The boys chat about everything from Abigail's eco-conscious approach to running a business, to the Star Wars, Metallica, and Lord of the Rings connections she and Kirk bonded over. The convo takes a turn as the boys unpack the struggle of trusting big corporations that claim to be eco-friendly—especially with scandals like Redcycle proving otherwise. Abigail's candidness about the challenges of running a truly sustainable company gives the team plenty to chat about. In a perfect world, KeepCup wouldn't even be needed—we'd just have coffee in the café—but as Abi says, we're solving half the issue. It's a thought-provoking and humorous reflection on how much still needs to change in the sustainability space. Also on this ep, the boys throw in a live gift unwrapping to celebrate Kirk's 30th birthday, followed by Kirk in the hot seat for our second-most famous segment in podcast history: Rapid Fire Questions—where Rohan brings the heat.

Ever wondered who started the reusable coffee cup revolution? We're chatting with none other than Abigail Forsyth, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of KeepCup. In 2007, after introducing reusable soup mugs at her café, Abi and her brother decided to create their own reusable coffee cup. The now-iconic KeepCup is found in over 75 countries, diverting millions of disposable cups from landfill every day. In today's episode, Abi schools Rohan and Kirk on the environmental impact of single-use cups. But here's the big question: How do you run an eco-friendly business while still selling products? Wouldn't the most sustainable option be no takeaways at all? We dive into the unfair blame placed on consumers when it comes to waste, and shift the focus toward the larger players (I'm looking at you Amazon). Plus, we explore adding surcharges to single-use cups, the impact of COVID on coffee culture, and the deflating social mood towards eco-friendly products (just let us die).  Oh, and Abigail's latest venture? Well, we may have to bleep that out!  We also touch on the boys' personal gripes—like Myki inspectors and people who order coffee while wearing headphones. Oh, and we always make time for a bit of Seinfeld talk, along with the mysterious disappearance of Kirk's Darth Vader KeepCup. In coffee news: Chinese coffee giant Luckin Coffee has just opened its 20,000th store, doubling its locations in just over a year. And El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, has launched a high-end coffee brand called Bean of Fire. Random? We think so too! There's so much more but you're just going to have to listen to find out.  If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day; It's Just Coffee! Huge thankyou to Abigail for such a great conversation.  Explore KeepCup at: @keepcup https://au.keepcup.com/ Want more coffee content?

The podcast journeys down under to Australia! Brooking Gatewood sits down with early reuse Solutioneer, Abigail Forsyth, Founder/CEO of KeepCup – one of the top reusable cup companies in the world and voted #1 reusable cup by GQ in 2021.  Abigail talks about the early days of trying to normalize reuse in her community while owning/operating a Melbourne cafe in the late 90s. From designing their own barista-standard reusable cups to advancing the reuse movement and the next phase of KeepCup's evolution, this B Corp is another great example as to why reuse is just as important for people and the economy as it is for the planet.Resources:www.Keepcup.comUpstream's Roadmap to Reuse: a step-by-step guide for policymakers and activists for bringing reuse to their communities About B CorpsAbout 1% for the Planet

In this episode, I interview Abigail Forsyth, the Co-founder and Managing Director at KeepCup based in Melbourne, Australia. KeepCup designed and manufactured the world's first barista standard reusable cup with a mission to ensure the world no longer wants, needs, or uses single-use cups. While running cafes in the late 90s, Abigail saw a huge number of disposable cups be sent to the landfill which can cause damage to the environment. With her brother, they decided to make a solution to such a problem by designing a reusable cup. They sold their first products in 2009 and people responded very well to it making them the world's first barista standard reusable cup with growing consumer demand in over 65 countries around the world. Abigail says one thing she'd recommend marketing a fast-growing business is making great products. She meant products that people need not a product you want to sell and also a product that won't give extreme destruction to the environment.  This Cast Covers:   Started as a solution to a problem and is now the world's first barista standard reusable cup. While running cafes in the late 90s, saw the rise of the disposable cup that wasn't recyclable and thought they would do something about it. Got the opportunity to design a reusable cup and a mission to encourage the use of reusable cups. People responded very well to the idea and design, selling their first products in 2009. Started with only 2 people to the current 55 FTEs in 13 years. Despite no money allotted for marketing in the beginning, they were still able to sell 10,000 of their products before they even made the tool. A B Corp for such a long time and has been a great tool for recruiting great people. The biggest mindset shift in the small business growth journey is learning to let things go. Sold in 60 countries with 27 distributors and with annual average revenue of 80%. With a mission to ensure the world no longer wants, needs, or uses single-use cups. Helping to divert billions of disposable cups from landfills each year.   Additional Resources: KeepCup Collapse By Jared Diamond Masters of Scale  ………………………………………… Quotes:  “Make great products.” —Abigail Forsyth “When a certain stage happens such as an impediment, learn to let things go and know what you have to keep hanging on to.” —Abigail Forsyth “Continue to harness self-discipline.” —Abigail Forsyth “Build that culture of doing something that you believe in and what you are passionate about.” —Abigail Forsyth “Lead by example for others to do the same.” —Abigail Forsyth ………………………………………… Music from https://filmmusic.io “Cold Funk” by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com. License: CC by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

Bright, bold and instantly recognisable, KeepCup is servicing demand in over 76 countries with offices in LA and London but remains loyal to its roots in Melbourne, where Abigail and her brother, Jamie launched their first reusable cup, 10 years ago. A long way since the original search for a more sustainable way to serve food, Abigail joins the program with an international presence, B Corp certification and a commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2025. 

Grab a cup of a coffee and join me as I chat to Abigail Forsyth, the CEO of KeepCup. I own so many KeepCups, so I was very excited to hear about Abigail’s incredible business journey. KeepCup was founded in Australia back in 2009 as a way to minimise waste that is produced by disposable takeaway coffee cups. Now KeepCup is sold in 68 countries and has really made a difference in consumers behaviour towards single cup use.   Key Takeaways:  We discuss the impact of the changes to cafe culture due to Covid-19 and how Abigaile is navigating these changes. A lot of cafes refuse to use KeepCups to avoid contamination, meaning that consumers were forced to use disposable cups. KeepCup has just launched a stainless steel range, and the material is of such high quality that there’s no metallic taste! You can shop the new range and the glass cup range at Nourished Life. KeepCup is part of the 1% for the Planet initiative, with Abigail telling me that they donate 1% of their revenue (not their profit!) to environmental causes.

Since its inception in 2009 KeepCup has gone from strength to strength becoming the leading figure in sustainable reusable coffee cups Listen in as Vince and Abigail KeepCup's inception and who came up with its perfect name as well as why parameters drive the creative process.   The pair also delve into B-Corp certification, what Abigail and her family's sustainable practices are as well as the importance of dematerialisation and designing for long life and reuse.   Enjoy!  KeepCup Design Your Life Frost*collective x KeepCup  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the third episode of Seed To Cup, James Beard Award-winning journalist and Sprudge co-founder Jordan Michelman interviews Abigail Forsyth, the co-founder, and CEO of KeepCup, based in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 2007 by Forsyth and her brother, Jamie, KeepCup was designed to address an intrinsic issue in the specialty coffee industry: reliance on disposable cups. "Today, KeepCups are used in more than 65 countries around the world. KeepCup users divert millions of disposable cups from landfill every day, and through their actions inspire others to do the same," says the company. Abigail Forsyth continues to direct the brand from its new headquarters in Clifton Hill. 2020 has offered an unprecedented set of challenges to the reusable movement, as cafes around the world convert to takeaway-only and struggle to keep up with an ever-changing set of information about the transmission of COVID-19. This moment feels especially desperate from where we're sitting right now—Sprudge is published out of Portland, Oregon, currently engulfed in smoke from the largest wildfire event in modern history. But it's also an opportunity, a defining moment for the human race to address the reality of environmental destruction. "COVID-19 is a frightening glimpse of what is to come," Forsyth told Smart Company earlier this year. "Zoonotic diseases, which spread from animals to humans, climate change, loss of biodiversity, plastic oceans—they are all facets of how we co-exist with the natural system. This is a wakeup call to bring our economic and social systems back into line with earth's finite resources." All this and more is addressed in our interview with Abigal Forsyth. This season of Seed To Cup is sponsored by La Marzocco and Seattle Coffee Gear. 

A conversation about reusable cups, circular economies and leading the fight for a sustainable future. KeepCup CEO Abigail Forsyth is the guest on this episode of People Building Businesses. Host Jason Lim and Abigail talk about founding KeepCup out of a Melbourne cafe, local production versus overseas, expanding the team to three countries, changing the culture of sustainability within businesses, not taking on investment, finding your voice, the future of coffee culture post-COVID and much more. The podcast was produced, shot and edited by Joe Harrington. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Plastics Revolution, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Abigail Forsyth, the co-founder and managing director of KeepCup. Abigail and her brother were running a number of cafes in the Melbourne area when they recognised the amount of disposable coffee cups going through their business and ending up in landfill.  Even worse, they couldn’t believe that there wasn’t already a reusable alternative on the market. Ten years later, the KeepCup brand has become the generic term for a reusable coffee cup in many places. We hope you enjoy this episode of Plastics Revolution with Abigail Forsyth of KeepCup.

Abigail Forsyth is the inventor of KeepCup, the world's first Barista standard, reusable coffee cup … and she's on a mission to stop us from disposing of one million coffee cups every minute … of every day! It's a very reusable episode 480 of The (award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing Show thanks to American Express and digital marketing agency Yellow.   A little bit more about KeepCup creator Abigail Forsyth … When Abigail Forsyth and her brother Jamie started a cafe business in Melbourne in 1998, disposable coffee cups were starting to become an environmental problem.   Now, as you're about to hear, they're a major problem.   And that's where KeepCups step in. KeepCups are those reusable coffee cups you see people bring in to your local cafe. So instead of using a paper coffee cup that's lined with plastic and thrown away the minute you've got your caffeine fix, KeepCups get used over and over.   They come in all shapes and sizes, colours and can even be personalised with your company branding.   Abigail joined me from her Fitzroy headquarters where we talked about: Why she chose to close the cafes and pursue the KeepCup idea How she used leading baristas as influencers before social influencers was even a thing How she handles the proliferation of copycats flooding the market How she's created an environmentally responsible supply chain And plenty more   “Our vision at KeepCup is a disposable free world." - Abigail Forsyth, KeepCup   Here's what caught my attention from my chat with KeepCup creator Abigail Forsyth It's probably time for us all to take a look at all aspects of our businesses and make changes that will benefit the environment - ideas could include getting all staff a branded KeepCup, going paperless, carpooling to meetings. I love the personalisation option KeepCup offers. Personalisation of particular products is becoming more and more common as technology makes it easier and easier. Remember that interview with Lana Hopkins from Mon Purse? I loved how Abigail used baristas to get the word out. If you'd like to learn more about social influencers then take a listen to the interview I did with Jules Lund who's started an influencer agency called Tribe.   “In today's conversation about single-use plastics and going plastic-free, too often plastics are all tarred with the same brush.

Anthea Hammon is CEO and third-generation of award-winning tourist park, Scenic World.

Many of the tourists these days are from overseas, particularly from China, thanks to Anthea and her team’s marketing strategies. From the very beginning, KeepCup’s CEO Abigail Forsyth had visions of selling reusable cups to cafes around the world. Concerned about the mountains of disposable coffee cups generated by cafes everywhere, Abigail's bright idea of encouraging customers to use KeepCup's reusable cups has resulted in worldwide expansion. It hasn't been easy, but good old fashioned selling and trade shows have helped her business grow. businessessentials.com.au
