Ballito × Breathe
Bring your
own cup.
Ballito sits between river mouths on the Dolphin Coast. Whatever goes in the rivers ends up on our beaches. Skip the takeaway cup.

Up to 30 years
for the plastic lining of one paper coffee cup to break down, according to Breathe. Most of the litter on our beaches washes down the rivers after rain.
It's this easy
- 1Grab any cup from your kitchen.
- 2Ask for your coffee in it.
- 3Keep it in your car or bag for next time.
