• 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’
