Compostable Cups: Saving the planet one coffee at a time

Due to stringent recycling systems the majority of the ‘recyclable’ coffee cups on the market are not accepted by general recycling sites. Reportedly less than 0.25 per cent are actually recycled, the rest end up in landfill. No problem for us: since 2016 even the lids of our Paddy and Scott’s coffee cups will compost away; within 12 months there’ll be no trace – trust me, we’ve tested them! If throwaway culture is not for you; fear not eco-warrior! One simple step can cut landfill and help promote a healthier environment. Everyone who purchases one of our UK made, BPA free, reusable thermal mugs gets their first coffee free.

I expect we will see a greater shift in eco-shopping in the long term, with customers keen to enjoy ‘field to cup’ from our Paddy and Scott’s coffee farm. In the meantime, bring any reusable coffee cup into one of our own cafés and get a 10 per cent discount on your drink. Well, saving the planet should be its own reward, but it doesn’t hurt to have a little incentive too, does it?
