120 million coffee cups will be collected for recycling by Veolia in the UK during 2019 – a 300% increase from this time last year, following 12 months rolling out its in-store service across the UK with brands including Costa, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Caffè Nero.
Under the scheme coffee cups are segregated in store to prevent contamination, ensuring a smoother, more effective process. Encouraged by the programme’s success, we the company said that it will continue to work with its customers to reach as many people as possible.
