Amai
Organization Overview
Carlsbad, CA based Amai provides an alternative to single-use paper and plastic cups in the form of a compostable – and edible – coffee cup.
Made from upcycled ingredients including brewer's spent grains and oat protein, these cups are delicious, thermal resistant up to 185°F, and will not leak for 12 hours. The cups are vegan, low calorie, soy-nut-dairy-egg free, and made from 100% natural ingredients. When you’re finished with your morning coffee or tea, toss the cup in the compost bin or take a bite! It doubles as a nutrient rich, healthy snack, and is light, flaky, and slightly sweet. Available in a 4 oz or 8 oz size, the cups can be used for hot and cold beverages alike, as well as yogurt, fruit, ice cream, and small desserts, making them versatile and fun. Applications extend well beyond retail and restaurants into general food service for airlines, cruise ships, entertainment venues, theme parks, schools, and hospitals.
Amai is a privately owned company formed in 2019 and our primary business has been importing an edible oat bran cup from Europe. Through this experience we gained important market insights and developed the necessary traction to launch our upcycled version to be produced locally in Southern California, eliminating the need to transport them halfway around the world. This will not only significantly reduce the cost and our carbon footprint, but will allow us to fulfill requests for custom packaging as well as offer new sizes for other applications. Additionally, we plan to use locally sourced spent grains, making the product even more eco-friendly by incorporating upcycled ingredients.
