Coffee Cup Recycling Bins

We have only five years before 1.5 °C

This coffee cup recycling bin has been designed by Regency Design in the UK to offer businesses a way to help shift towards sustainability and provide patrons with a dedicated spot to place their cup after use. The bin can be branded to suit any business and works by simply having the patron empty their cup before taking off the lid and placing the two in their respective sections. The bins are presently being rolled out into Pret A Manger and Costa locations in the UK as well as in Network Rail stations.

Chief Commercial Officer at Regency Design Zak Manhire spoke on the new coffee cup recycling bin saying, "The work we do is all about providing innovative solutions to the problems that our customers face, along with the country as a whole. In this instance, it means creating a product that allows coffee sippers to quickly separate the parts of the coffee cup, so that their waste can be recycled. Our solution does this and allows for quick and easy collection in high footfall areas such as train stations and coffee shops. The UK was making good progress with the adoption of reusable coffee cups, but COVID-19 safety concerns will no doubt hinder this progress, and with Britain getting through an estimated 2.5 billion cups a year it is encouraging to see big brands adopting a more sustainable approach to cup waste.”
