The UK uses 7 million disposable coffee cups each day, amounting to roughly 2.5 billion each year – that is a lot of coffee. Of these, 80% come from commercial sources.
The mixed material composition of coffee cups means they are not recyclable in dry mixed recycling. Disappointingly, this means less than 1% of coffee cups are recycled in the UK, resulting in a large volume of wasted material.
Recorra’s commercial coffee cup recycling service is designed to make recycling your business’s coffee cups easy and effective. By offering a dedicated collection, we ensure that your coffee cups are properly recycled, helping to improve your overall recycling rates, reduce contamination in mixed recycling, and support your sustainability goals.
