The wasteful consumption of billions of coffee cups a year could be easily avoided by introducing a ban on these single use cups
Coffee cups are extremely difficult to recycle which means the majority of them end up in landfill or worse, littering streets or the countryside
Transitioning to a circular based system of consumption is essential to tackling the many issues around waste and littering
This is a small lifestyle change that has the potential to have worthwile and longlasting impact
