What is our coffee cup service?

Our Coffee Cup Service is a new collection service designed to encourage more recycling in the work place and solve the issue of the large number of disposable cups sold in London on a regular basis. We will provide you with specific bins for your offices that are used only for coffee cup recycling. We’ll regularly collect these bins and send it to one of our local facilities to be specially treated to separate the different plastic and paper fibres so it can be repurposed into something new!

If your business adopts our Coffee Cup Service, you’ll not only be reducing the costs in other areas of your company’s bin disposal but you’ll be reducing landfill and contributing to a greener environment.
