DOWNLOAD OUR BROCHURE FROM CUP TO PAPER "With our partners James Cropper and Veolia, we can take coffee cups, a waste product of ours and transform it into our yellow kraft bag, thereby closing the loop on that particular waste stream. Not only that, but the bags can still be recycled for years to come. We're proud to be the first retailer to upcycle our cups in this way. Our customers are becoming ever more aware of global waste issues and I think our customers will appreciate the story behind the bag." CHRIS BRANT, DIRECTOR FOR RETAIL PROJECTS AND FM - SELFRIDGES 120 million Coffee Cups Recycled 2.5 billion cups are thrown away each year in the UK, the polyethylene coating of coffee cups means that they are only recyclable through specialist facilities. Our CupCycling™ facility removes the plastic lining during the process meaning that 95% of the cup waste can be converted back in to paper and the remaining 5% of plastic is used for energy recovery in the production of recycled paper.
