Save money and the planet
Did you know that most single-use coffee cups are not recyclable because they are lined with plastic? It’s true! Even more alarming is that it takes 20 to 30 years for a standard single-use coffee cup to breakdown in landfill.
In 2019, prior to COVID-19, nearly 50 metric tonnes of coffee cups were disposed of across our campuses and ended up in landfill. That is the equivalent of 13 elephants! Our most recent 2021 figures saw 12 metric tonnes of coffee cups being sent to landfill, a significant drop which can be attributed to the lower levels of staff and students on campus due to COVID-19.
