UK businesses and consumers get through 3.2 billion disposable cups every year. Just under 2 billion of these won’t reach recycling bins.1
But further research suggests that the UK may already use as many as 5 billion coffee cups per year, and less than 1 in 25 are recycled.2
Despite best intentions, 71% of those who own a reusable cup have been known to forget to take it out with them.3
Over 90% of today’s cups still either end up in landfill, littering the streets or floating in our oceans.
Why? Most single-use cups are manufactured with plastic or bioplastic liners, making them difficult to recycle, even though their labels say otherwise.
Traditional disposable cups for hot drinks have an inner liner to prevent leaks.
Inner liners are usually made from PE (plastic) or PLA (bioplastic)
Due to having a liner, a specialist recycling process is required. There’s only one papermill in the UK which is set up to receive lined cups to be recycled.
