It is estimated that 2.5 billion coffee cups are thrown away each year in Britain. Of all these cups, only about 1 in 400 can actually be recycled leading to a huge amount of waste filling up bins and landfills.

 

We are not suggesting you go without coffee by any means, but what you can do is ditch the single use cups with one of these reusable cups. If you get your caffeine fix from a local coffee shop you might even get a discount for bringing your own cup.
