In the UK we throw away over 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups every year. Though they are made largely of paper, disposable coffee cups are lined with plastic polyethylene and aren't commonly recyclable (less than 1% are recycled) so they usually find their way to landfill.

While these numbers are pretty scary, this is a really easy problem to fix - we all just need to use our own reusable coffee cups! At The Eco Shop we have a great range of cups from KeepCup and Perky so you can get your daily coffee fix whilst also helping the environment!
