Coffee Cup Recycling

Total Waste Solutions

It’s a common misconception that coffee cups aren’t recyclable. Although they can’t be included with your general or paper waste they can be stored ready for collection in designated recycling bins which are specifically for the disposal of used coffee cups. This ensures there is no chance of your coffee cups contaminating other types of recyclable waste materials.

Coffee cup recycling will reduce your company’s carbon footprint and demonstrate your commitment to environmental sustainability. As coffee cups are produced from virgin material, it’s of prime importance to convert this waste into a recycled product. With 5,000 cups a minute being discarded in the UK, this presents a significant problem for the environment and everyone has a part to play in finding a solution.
