Embrace Eco-Friendly Living with Dangjin's Tumbler Discount Program

Save on living expenses while participating in an eco-friendly consumption culture that promotes resource recycling and carbon neutrality through Dangjin's tumbler discount program!
"Just by bringing a tumbler, my coffee costs have changed."
Upon hearing that I could receive a discount of up to 1,500 KRW just by bringing my personal tumbler, I decided to visit cafes participating in the Dangjin tumbler discount support program.
I initially thought it was simply an environmental policy, but using it turned out to be much simpler than expected, and the discount benefits were applied immediately. It was impressive how accessible carbon neutrality can be in everyday life.
This time, my whole family brought their own tumblers and visited Little Forest and Mimi Mill Cafe in Dangjin to order drinks and receive tumbler discounts.
It wasn't just a day of receiving discounts; it was a moment where using tumblers instead of disposable cups naturally became part of our family's routine.
What is the Dangjin Tumbler Discount Program?
Dangjin operates this program to reduce the use of disposable cups and promote a resource recycling culture.
By using personal tumblers at participating cafes, citizens can receive discounts ranging from 1,000 KRW to 1,500 KRW. This initiative allows citizens to benefit from discounts while cafes receive incentives, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between the environment and the local community.
The greatest advantage is that anyone can easily participate by simply preparing a tumbler.
On that day, my family and I brought our tumblers with us as we went out. Our first stop was Little Forest.
At the entrance, there was a poster indicating it was a participating store in the Dangjin tumbler discount program, making it easy for first-time visitors to recognize. When I handed over my tumbler while ordering, the staff kindly informed me about the discount application.
As I ordered my drink and handed over my tumbler, the discount amount was applied immediately at checkout. It was so simple that I thought, 'This is something I can easily continue doing in the future.'
With a store discount of 500 KRW + a Dangjin discount of 500 KRW + a carbon-zero participating store discount of 400 KRW, I received a total discount of 1,400 KRW for my tumbler.
Discounts may vary slightly by store, so keep that in mind. At Little Forest, the 1,400 KRW discount was applied.
After receiving my drink in the tumbler I brought, I sat down and enjoyed a leisurely time catching up with my family. In our busy lives, even when we spend time together, we often look at our phones. However, the time spent laughing and chatting over drinks that day was more memorable.
On hot days like these, taking a break at a cool cafe is a wonderful way to relax. By adopting the small habit of bringing a personal tumbler, I received discounts and reduced the use of disposable cups, making our family cafe outing even more meaningful.
Next, I visited Mimi Mill Cafe, which uses only locally sourced beans from Dangjin, and utilized the same method. At cafes with kiosks, you need to select 'tumbler discount' for each menu item to apply the discount. First-time users might overlook this, so be sure to check the order screen.
After completing my order, I handed my tumbler to the staff, who filled it with my drink. Although it felt slightly more complex than at Little Forest, it wasn't difficult once I tried it. Just checking the tumbler discount option for each menu item makes it easy for anyone to participate.
Particularly, it was easy to find information about the tumbler discount inside the store, making it accessible even for first-time users.
Mimi Mill Cafe applied a store discount of 100 KRW + a Dangjin discount of 500 KRW + a carbon-zero participating store discount of 400 KRW, totaling a 1,000 KRW discount.
After receiving my coffee and drinks, I enjoyed them while driving. Using my personal tumbler for takeout made it convenient to carry, and I felt more at ease knowing I didn't have to worry about spills or open lids.
The Dangjin tumbler discount program offers up to 1,500 KRW off just by bringing your personal tumbler! Here's how to participate and receive discounts while protecting the environment:
- Bring your personal tumbler from home.
- Visit a cafe participating in the Dangjin tumbler discount program.
- Inform the staff about your tumbler usage when ordering (at kiosk stores, select the tumbler discount for each menu item) and receive your drink in your tumbler.
- Enjoy the discount benefits while also reducing the use of disposable cups!
The Dangjin tumbler discount program is not just a policy to discount coffee prices; it is a community-oriented initiative that helps citizens practice resource recycling and carbon neutrality in their daily lives.
Through this experience, I realized that the small habit of bringing a tumbler can lead to tangible benefits and contribute to reducing disposable waste and protecting the environment.
In the future, I will continue the habit of bringing my personal tumbler. Small actions can collectively lead to a cleaner Dangjin and play a significant role in creating a sustainable resource recycling culture.
Whether you are a resident of Dangjin or visiting, be sure to prepare your personal tumbler when visiting participating cafes. You can enjoy a moment of relaxation with a cup of coffee while receiving discounts and experiencing a meaningful time that also considers the environment.
