Learn more about Coffee Cups Recycling in Ham

Coffee cup recycling in Ham is something new that we have set up. The number of coffee shops that have opened in Ham recently is staggering in an area of 1.31141 square metres Hamis home for approximately 2 coffee shops. Over recent years coffee cups can be found everywhere. With 1 coffee shops in Ham, Costa Coffee cups are the biggest challenge to solve. Because these coffee cups can be found everywhere commercial facilities in Ham should consider implementing a coffee cup recycling programme.

The number of coffee cups we throw away in Ham 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.

Out of the three facilities in the United Kingdom that can recycle coffee cups we work with one of them, so using our coffee cup recycling services in Ham can greatly benefit you and the overall recycling performance in Ham as well.

However, with people becoming more aware of environmental issues and positive actions taken from authorities and waste companies in Ham recycling rates have started to rise. In some areas the recycling rate has gone up to 1 in 25 mainly due to 115 local authorities collecting paper cups and around 30 waste companies helping with the recycling of disposable coffee cups.

The problems disposable coffee cups cause to our environment are:

• That they are being littered. About half a million coffee cups are thrown away straight into the environment a day
• 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’

As always there is still more work to do in Ham, will you do your part?
