What if your daily coffee could help save the planet?Most of us don’t think twice about what’s under our cup. Yet, that small piece of material — the coaster — can make a surprising difference to how we live, drink, and care for the environment.

☕ The Problem with Disposable & Cheap Coasters

Cafés and homes often rely on paper, cork, or plastic coasters. They may be cheaper, but they come with hidden costs:

Short lifespan – they warp, peel, or stain easily.
Wasteful – disposables pile up, adding to landfill.
Unsafe materials – some alternatives are poorly made and may contain unsafe substances.

The result? We spend more, waste more, and harm more.

💡 The Botanic SG Solution

At Botanic SG, we reimagined the coaster. Ours are made with diatomaceous earth, a natural, eco-friendly material known for its:

Quick-dry – no soggy surfaces, no cup rings.
Durability – lasts much longer than disposable or cork options.
Minimalist design – sleek, timeless, and Instagram-ready.
Certified safety – asbestos-free tested

In short: a coaster that’s as kind to your table as it is to the planet.

🌍 From Cafés to Your Home

We’ve started with cafés because that’s where conversations — and coffee — flow. Every time you sip your ice latte or tea on a Botanic SG coaster, you’re experiencing sustainability in action.

And the best part? You don’t have to stop at the café. These coasters are now available for you to take home, gift, or even share with loved ones.
