The life of a cup

What is a Monday morning like without that shot of caffeine, having a morning routine is the best way to get back into the swing of the week. But how much time have you spent thinking about what happens to the coffee cup once your done with it, because it takes 20-30 years to decompose in land fill. That is the true life of a cup.

Paper cups are made from the small seed which then grows and flourishes into a tree ready for extraction where it is transformed into sheets of paper that is half coated in wax or plastic to prevent the drink from seeping through the cup during consumption.

It’s never too late to change how you carry on drinking with your very own long lasting and reusable cup or bottle; whatever works for you because paper cups aren’t actually recyclable. It’s a little bit complicated.

If you look around there are a few people already making the change of using reusable cups and bottles but the majority of them are millennials and generation z who are subconsciously working on reducing their waste as well as saving some money. But we still have a long way to go.

Leading coffee shops in the UK have shown their push for people to use reusable cups by offering customers a discount on the cost of their take away.
