Where Does Your Coffee Cup End Up?

Interesting article in Which Magazine this month (www.which.co.uk) about "Where Will Your Coffee Cup End Up?"

In summary:

• 2.5 billion paper cups are thrown away every year (5 times stretched around the globe if side by side)
• Most cups thrown in bins or recycling will be rejected at the recycling plant as they contain 5% polyethylene coating which keeps the liquid warm
• All the coffee chains are making efforts in this respect - some more than others, but there is still quite a bit of wastage
