The number of coffee cups we throw away in Downe a day is the biggest challenge but how they are made is another; they are for the majority a paper cup however they are coated in either plastic which stops them from being sent to standard recycling plants as they cannot be recycled like normal paper. On top of that are the other items that are thrown away with each coffee cup; napkins and stirrers mixed in make it a much harder recycling process.

• That they create microplastics when they decompose
• That they are made from wood and considering it takes up to 100,000 trees a year to facilitate the UK takeaway coffee habit this is a problem that needed addressing and continually improving’
