Did you know?

Did you know coffee cups are not yet recyclable in Ireland?

Do you know how many disposable cups are used in Ireland every hour?

Do you know what you can do to minimise this impact?

Take a look at this video to answer these questions and more! 

It’s also important to note that many shops are now providing discounts when you bring along your own cup with thanks to the ‘Latte Levy’. That’s right YOU CAN SAVE! So, what is stopping you?

We are so joyful to see the recommendation for the 25p coffee cup tax!!! Anything that encourages #lessplastic and gets people to THINK about their impact on the environment is a great thing. These ginger yogis are a GREAT thing too. Hugely great thing. Small enough for a treat. And they have ginger in them. That’s good for you right?? . . #treepose #yogaeverydamnday #coffeecuptax #lattelevy (at Outdoor People, Hackney)

A 25p #lattelevy is expected to reduce takeout coffee cup use by 30%. We’ve done some basic maths to show that, even with a 10x increase in reusable takeout cup use, the UK’s most common coffee shop model would then break planning law. And perversely, it’s the shops that contribute most to takeout cup use that would survive. See how your shop is impacted, and contact the committee via email, Twitter or in person to explain how updating the use class system is an essential part of reducing waste. They need to get the message.

Starbucks’ Next Eco-Challenge (and Opportunity): Recyclable Paper Cups

Hot on the heels of Starbucks’ global decision to phase out plastic straws, the impact-conscious brand is adopting another sustainability move. On July 26, about 950 of its locations in the UK will begin charging 5p (about 7 cents U.S.) each time a customer requests a disposable paper cup, with the funds raised going to its not-for-profit partner in the project, Hubbub.

What impact does a 5p charge have on customer behaviour? See the results of the #nudge trial on coffee cups in 35 @StarbucksUK stores prepared by @hubbubUK https://t.co/nCgOXC4VwE

— Trewin Restorick (@TrewinR) July 11, 2018

Starbucks is making the move following a London test (it dubbed #nudge) with Hubbub, which saw the percentage of customers bringing their own cups increase to 5.8% from a lowly 2.2% before. As an additional incentive, Starbucks customers in the UK now receive a 25p discount if they bring in their own reusable cup.

Starbucks rolls out a 5p paper cup charge to all stores across Britain to further encourage customers to bring in a reusable cup. All proceeds will be donated to environmental charity @hubbubUK https://t.co/B3Ek9ttIm4 pic.twitter.com/1hUvahOEQ4

— Starbucks EMEA News (@StarbucksEMEA) July 10, 2018

“We saw encouraging results from the first three months of this trial with Hubbub, and what stood out to us was the positive response we had from partners (employees) and customers, who continue to push us to innovate and find ways to reduce waste,” said Starbucks EMEA head Martin Brok.

“Extending this to all our stores across Britain is an exciting step and we’re hoping this charge will remind customers to rethink their use of single-use plastic as it has with plastic bags.”

2.5 billion #coffeecups are thrown away each year in the UK, yet less than 1% are currently recycled – we find out why recycling cups isn't as easy as you'd think in this #HubbubInvestigates vlog: https://t.co/6Y6y0XoH6H #LatteLevy #plasticwaste #plastic

— Hubbub (@hubbubUK) July 11, 2018

While a 5p “latte levy” may not save the planet, consider that Starbucks is responsible for an estimated 4 billion disposable coffee cups going to landfill every year. The company is trying to develop a better cup, one that can be recycled more easily.

After a 5p charge on disposable #coffeecups successfully increased use of reusables, @StarbucksUK will expand the trial to every store in Britain! We're delighted proceeds will fund @hubbubUK activities to reduce #plasticpollution & waste https://t.co/tnDO41H6qY

Earlier this week, Starbucks revealed its global plans to eliminate plastic straws, which number more than 1 billion a year at its stores, by 2020. The move follows similar initiatives by McDonald’s and smaller brands, such as Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises.

Brands are rallying around the idea of cutting non-biodegradable plastic waste in large part because so much of it ends up floating in the oceans, much of it in giant gyres that can measure hundreds of miles across. Seattle, Starbucks’ headquarters city, became one of the biggest U.S. cities to ban plastic straws, last week.

Instead of plastic straws, Starbucks is introducing two types of straw alternatives: recyclable strawless lids and an alternative-material straw option for beverages such as Frappuccinos.

It’s not just in the U.K. that Starbucks is being lobbied on recyclable paper cups. In the home of coffee, Italy—where Starbucks is opening its first store this fall—the company is feeling the heat from eco-supporters who’d like it to use recyclable cups there, too.

The proposed #lattelevy will put many coffee shops in breach of planning law. Ouch! Follow this calculation to see if your shop will be impacted and then take five minutes to let a member of the Environmental Audit Committee know what the problems are with the current proposal, and what the solutions can look like. You can contact them via email, Twitter or in person. Together we can reduce takeout coffee cup use, but the solutions will take a little effort from all of us.
