National Cup Recycling Scheme

The National Cup Recycling Scheme

The National Cup Recycling Scheme is the UK’s largest paper cup recycling scheme. The Scheme brings together major retailers, waste management companies and UK paper mills all with the shared aim of growing the infrastructure needed to increase the number of paper cups being collected and recycled in the UK.

Launched in April 2018, the scheme sees major retailers working together to create a system for collecting and recycling hot and cold paper cups – this includes everything from coffee cups to milkshake cups.
