We don't believe in fairy tales. Recycling is complex, and the best intentions often lead to contamination. Here is the honest truth on how to handle your cup.
"We follow the same simple, practical steps promoted by specialist cup recyclers. No greenwashing, just the facts."
Step 01
Make sure the cup is completely empty. Liquid left inside can ruin entire batches of recycled paper and lead to landfill.
No need to wash or rinse

Does the site support specific processing? Look for specialist bins provided by schemes like the National Cup Recycling Scheme.
Specialist bins for aqueous-lined cups. Often found in major transit hubs and high-street coffee chains.
Industrial composting or food waste streams. Aqueous-lined cups are designed to break down in these organic environments.
Final Step 03
If neither Route A nor Route B is available, the most responsible action is general waste. Do not put the cup in the standard mixed paper bin.

Our cups use a water-based lining that simplifies the recycling process compared to traditional plastic-lined cups.
