REUSABLE COFFEE CUPS

We use around 7 million coffee cups every day in the UK, most of which aren’t recycled because of their plastic lining. It’s time to ditch single-use cups in favour of reusable ones. We highlight three of the newest on the market, all made from eco-friend

RCUP, £12, Waitrose

The UK’S first reusable coffee cup made from other cups! Both discarded paper cups and their plastic lids are used in its manufacture. At the end of its life (estimated at 10 years) it’s 100% recyclable. Not only is it a sustainable choice, it’s also

100% leakproof.

Huskup, £10.95, huskup.com

Available in various designs, this coffee cup is made from rice husks (the outer hull of the rice grain), a material that would otherwise be burnt at the mill, making this cup another sustainable choice. The cup is also durable, free from plastic and completely biodegradable.

Zuperzozial biodegradable cruising travel mug, £10.50, trouva.com

This travel mug is made from a blend of bamboo fibre and corn starch and strengthened with melamime resin, making it both sturdy and dishwashersafe. If buried in the ground, it will break down within one to two years.
