Lån en IBA-kop
På IBA kan du låne en termokop, når du tanker kaffe og te. Når du er færdig med at drikke af den, kan du sætte den på en af de opstillede vogne til brugt service. Så bliver koppen kørt ned i kantinen, hvor den bliver vasket op i kantinens opvaskemaskine.
Fakta om IBA’s kopper
Om koppen
- Termokoppen kan rumme 0,35 liter.
- Er produceret af Bodum, som kalder den Pavina Outdoor i sit outdoor sortiment.
- Er produceret i plasttypen SAN (og dermed helt uden det hormonforstyrrende bisphenol A – også kaldet BPA).
- Der er ingen risiko for frigivelse af giftige stoffer eller påvirkning af smag ved brug.
SAN-plast udmærker sig ved dets gode hårdhed, er holdbart, brudsikkert og mere let end glas og akryl. Plasten har gode egenskaber ved høje temperatur, tåler mikroovn, fryser og opvaskemaskinen.
Om IBA's opvaskemaskine
Det er en Hobart CN-LA tunnelopvaskemaskine, som alle brugte kopper bliver vasket op i.
Hver gang kantinens opvaskemaskine vasker én hel kurv med 25 kopper op, bruger den kun:
- Strøm: 0,25 kW time
- Opvaskemiddel: 1 gram
- Vand: 0,89 liter rent vand.
At opvaskemaskinen har så lavt et vandforbrug per kurv skyldes, at maskinen i forvejen er i brug i kantinen.
Når opvaskemaskinen kører bruger den naturligvis også afspændingsmiddel og salt. Og oven i kommer afgifter på det spildevand, maskinen udleder.
Når industriopvaskemaskinen bliver tændt om morgenen, tager den 200 liter vand ind og bruger det så igen og igen. Undervejs sier maskinen selv beskidt vand fra.
Om Bodum
- Bodum blev grundlagt som en dansk producent af køkkenudstyr og service af Peter Bodum. Det skete i 1944 i København.
- Virksomheden, der stadig er 100% familieejet, har i dag hovedsæde i Baar, Schweiz.
- Det skandinaviske hovedsæde ligger i dag i Humlebæk på Sjælland.
- Produktionen af kopper og service foregår i Portugal.
Hvis koppen går i stykker
Hvis koppen skulle gå i stykker, skal den sorteres som plastaffald. Den kan herefter genanvendes sammen med andet plastik.
1. Trekanten under koppens bund identificerer, hvilken slags plastik koppen er produceret af. Hvert tal svarer til en bestemt slags plastik – se oversigten over plasttyper i forhold til affaldssortering herunder. Stort set alt, hvad der ikke er inden for nr. 1-6 går ind i 7, som er “andet plast”.
2. Cirklen med “200” under koppens bund er en leverandørkode og fortæller, hvilken Bodum fabrik – koppen er produceret på.
3. Glas- og gaffelsymbolet ved siden af – er et internationalt symbol, som viser, at produktet er fødevaresikkert.

Facts about the IBA cups
At the IBA, you can borrow a thermal cup when getting coffee or tea. Once you have finished your drink, you can place it on one of the designated trolleys for used tableware. The cup is then taken to the canteen, where it is washed in the canteen’s dishwasher.
About the cup
-
The thermo cup has a capacity of 0.35 litres.
-
It is manufactured by Bodum, which includes it in its outdoor range under the name Pavina Outdoor.
-
It is made from the plastic type SAN, meaning it is completely free from the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol A, also known as BPA.
-
There is no risk of toxic substances being released or any impact on taste when using the cup.
SAN plastic is known for its hardness, durability, shatter resistance, and being lighter than glass and acrylic. It performs well at high temperatures and is suitable for use in microwaves, freezers, and dishwashers.
About the IBA's dishwasher
The used cups are washed in a Hobart CN-LA tunnel dishwasher.
Each time the canteen’s dishwasher cleans a full rack of 25 cups, it only consumes:
- Electricity: 0.25 kWh
- Detergent: 1 gram
- Water: 0.89 litres of clean water
The exceptionally low water consumption per rack is due to the dishwasher already being in use in the canteen.
Naturally, the dishwasher also uses rinse aid and salt, in addition to incurring wastewater charges.
When the industrial dishwasher is switched on in the morning, it takes in 200 litres of water, which is then reused continuously. Along the way, the machine filters out dirty water automatically.
About Bodum (The manufacturer)
- Bodum was founded as a Danish manufacturer of kitchenware and tableware by Peter Bodum in 1944 in Copenhagen.
- The company, which remains 100% family-owned, is now headquartered in Baar, Switzerland.
- Its Scandinavian headquarters are located in Humlebæk, Zealand.
- The production of cups and tableware takes place in Portugal.
If the cup breaks
If the cup breaks, it should be disposed of as plastic waste. It can then be recycled along with other plastic materials.
1. The triangle on the bottom of the cup identifies the type of plastic it is made from. Each number corresponds to a specific type of plastic—see the overview of plastic types in relation to waste sorting below. Almost everything that does not fall within numbers 1-6 is classified as 7, which represents “other.”
2. The circle with “200” on the bottom of the cup is a supplier code, indicating which Bodum factory the cup was produced in.
3. The glass and fork symbol next to it is an international symbol confirming that the product is food-safe.
