The coffee cup revolution | |
Since the rise in popularity of reusable coffee (and tea) cups and mugs, there are now a whole host of options that you can choose from to help your company reduce its throwaway waste, and contribute towards your sustainability goals (including reducing your carbon footprint). |
|
Every day, around 8 million pieces of plastic makes their way into our oceans, with Britain contributing an estimated 1.7 million tonnes of plastic waste annually*. With people more aware of the damaging effects of single use plastic on the planet, the time has never been better to encourage repeated use of a more sustainable product. | |
Some fun facts... | |
These are just a few reasons why branded coffee cups, tumblers and mugs are some of the most popular items when it comes to promotional merchandise. |
|
Follow in the footsteps of the big brands | |
Starbucks recently announced that it will introduce a unique reusable ‘Cup-Share’ program in all of its 3,840 stores in Europe, Middle East, and Africa by 2025, as it looks to reduce the amount of its single use waste++. | |
Other big coffee shop brands, such as Costa Coffee, also offer discounts when customers choose a reusable cup rather than a disposable one. In addition, since May 2018, Costa Coffee have collected and recycled 155 million paper cups from their stores#. | |
