Since 2023, CapeCup’s manufacturing has been running entirely off the national grid, proudly powered by our own solar energy system. Every step of production is driven by clean, renewable energy, keeping us true to the BioAfrica ethos.


From day one, our system has produced more electricity than we consume. On its first day alone, it saved the equivalent of more than 59 trees and prevented almost a ton of CO₂ emissions.


“We are already producing more electricity than we use. On our very first day, we saved over 59 trees and prevented almost a ton of CO₂ gas emissions.
Couldn’t feel more proud of the fact that CapeCup is living the BioAfrica ethos.”

— Jurjen Sjouerman, CapeCup Director
